The development of an international substantive environmental right
has long been a contested issue. Concurrently, environmental rights
have developed in a fragmented way and to a limited extent through
different legal regimes. This book examines the potential for the
development of a global environmental right which would create
legal duties for all decision-makers relating to the environment
and provide the bedrock for a new system of international
environmental governance. The book analyses not only traditional
international environmental law and human rights law but also the
development of corporate law, the development of the GATT and the
WTO. It uses this basis to build an understanding of the wider
international legal architecture and why that architecture often
leads to poor outcomes for the environment. The book summarizes the
state of scientific knowledge, as it is this, which drives the
justification for legal reform. It also analyses existing systems
that have developed within the practice of decision-making
processes to demonstrate the role that they can play within new
systems of environmental governance. Taking a problem solving
approach, the book seeks to demonstrate how straightforward and
logical changes to the architecture would solve fundamental
problems and argues for the development of a new environmental
right that creates clear legal responsibilities for
decision-makers, illustrating how governments and institutions
would need to adjust to make the changes operative and successful.
This problem solving approach extends to the provision of a draft
treaty annexed to the book. This innovative and interdisciplinary
book is of great interest to students and researchers in
international environmental law, environmental politics,
environmental economics, and environmental management, as well as
those studying more specifically the WTO, international trade law,
human rights law, constitutional law and company law.
