International Environmental Law is a new textbook written for
students, practitioners, and anyone interested in the subject. The
overall aim of the book is to provide a fresh understanding of
international environmental law as a whole, seen in the light of
climate change, biodiversity loss, and the other serious
environmental challenges facing the world. The book has also been
kept deliberately manageable in size by careful selection of topics
and by adopting a cross-cutting synthesis of regulatory interaction
in the field. This enables the reader to place international
environmental law in the broader context of public international
law in general, revealing at the same time that international
environmental law is experimental ground for developing new legal
approaches towards global governance. To this end, the authors have
combined theory and practice. Apart from discussing concepts,
rule-making and compliance, the book looks at options for improved
coordination, harmonisation and even integration of existing
multilateral environmental agreements, analysing how conflicts
between various environmental regimes can be avoided or, at least,
adequately managed. The authors argue that an appropriate
management of international environmental relations must address
the North-South divide, which continues to be a major obstacle to
global environmental cooperation. Furthermore, the authors
emphasise the growing human rights dimension of international
environmental law. This book is an ideal 'door opener' for the
further study of international environmental law. Focusing on
'international environmental governance' in a comprehensive way, it
serves to explain that each institution, each actor, and each
instrument is part of a multi-dimensional process in international
environmental law and relations.
