Environmental rights, also known as the human rights or
constitutional rights that are used for the protection of the
environment, have proliferated over the last forty-five years.
However, the precise levels of protection that they represent has
since been a major question associated with this phenomenon.
Environmental Rights: The Development of Standards systematically
investigates this question by analyzing the emerging standards of
environmental protection that are associated with such rights and
the way that those associations are becoming formalized. It covers
all of the relevant human rights treaties to illustrate how
environmental rights standards are emerging in this dynamic area.
Bringing together an elite group of scholars, this book discusses
significant new insights into the way that environmental rights are
developing, the standards of protection that they confer, and the
way that standards in the field of environmental rights can
potentially be further developed in the future.

With unique scholarly analysis and practical discussion, this book
provides a comprehensive introduction to the relationship between
environmental protection and human rights being formalized into law
in many legal systems. By illuminating human rights theory and the
institutions that can be employed to meet environmental goals, this
book instructs on environmental techniques and procedures that
assist in the protection of human rights. The text provides cogent
guidance on a growing international jurisprudence on the promotion
and protection of human rights in relation to the environment that
has been developed by international and regional human rights
bodies and tribunals. It explores a rich body of case law that
continues to develop within states on the environmental dimension
of the rights to life, to health, and to public participation and
access to information. Five compelling contemporary case studies
are included that implicate human rights and the environment,
ranging from large dam projects, to the creation of a new human
rights, to a clean environment.
