From fisheries to persistent organic pollutants to climate change
itself, no other environmental principle in environmental law has
produced as much controversy as the precautionary principle. Unlike
a preventive approach in which action is taken provided that the
threats to the environment are tangible, with a precautionary
approach, authorities are prepared to tackle risks for which there
is no definitive proof that the damage will materialize. The
ramifications of this increasingly apparent approach are profound
and cut across all areas of risk assessment and management,
environmental law, policy and regulation in every major sector.
However, to date little thought has been dedicated to the
implementation of the precautionary principle in a wide array of
environmental circumstances. This authoritative handbook addresses
the legal aspects of how the precautionary principle is implemented
in different sectors, and examines its successes, failures,
strengths and weaknesses. Sectors and subjects covered include
chemicals, GMOs, marine pollution, fisheries and nature
conservation, and the book draws on cases in the EU, in the USA,
and Nordic countries, where the use of precaution has been
gathering momentum. Ultimately, the book provides an indispensable
appraisal of the question - increasingly important in the era of
human-induced climate change - of whether the precautionary
principle is relevant, indeed essential, to avert major
environmental and health risks, and how and when it can be used
successfully. Published with MARIE CURIE ACTIONS
