The third edition of this classic textbook offers comprehensive and
critical commentary on international environmental law. It fully
covers the key topics of the course and is clearly structured to
include the history and framework in which international
environmental law exists, key areas of regulation and
implementation, links to other areas of law and future
developments. It has been updated to incorporate all the latest
developments in treaty and case law. Extensive feedback on previous
editions results in a restructuring of material, including a new
part focused on linkage to other areas of international law
including human rights, international trade and foreign investment.
There is also a new chapter on future developments charting the
directions in which the subject is moving. Specialist authors
writing on oceans, seas and fisheries and biodiversity add to the
expertise of the two principal authors for an authoritative
overview of the subject.
This new and fully updated edition of Principles of International
Environmental Law offers a comprehensive and critical account of
one of the fastest growing areas of international law: the
principles and rules relating to environmental protection.
Introducing the reader to the key foundational principles,
governance structures and regulatory techniques, Principles of
International Environmental Law explores each of the major areas of
international environmental regulation through substantive
chapters, including climate change, atmospheric protection, oceans
and freshwater, biodiversity, chemicals and waste regulation. The
ever-increasing overlap with other areas of international law is
also explored through examination of the inter-linkages between
international environmental law and other areas of international
regulation, such as trade, human rights, humanitarian law and
investment law. Incorporating the latest developments in treaty and
case law for key areas of environmental regulation, this text is an
essential reference and textbook for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students, academics and practitioners of international
environmental law.

This examination of the role of litigation in addressing the
problem of climate change focuses not only on how the massive and
growing number of lawsuits influences regulation directly, but also
on how the lawsuits shape corporate behaviour and public opinion.
It provides readers with an understanding of how these lawsuits
have shaped approaches to mitigation and adaptation, and have been
used to try to force and to block regulation. There is a particular
emphasis on lawsuits in the United States and Australia, the two
jurisdictions which have had the most climate change litigation in
the world, and the lessons provide broader insights into the role
of courts in addressing climate change.

The regulation of risk is a preoccupation of contemporary global
society and an increasingly important part of international law in
areas ranging from environmental protection to international trade.
This book examines a key aspect of international risk regulation -
the way in which science and technical expertise are used in
reaching decisions about how to assess and manage global risks. An
interdisciplinary analysis is employed to illuminate how science
has been used in international legal processes and global
institutions such as the World Trade Organization. Case studies of
risk regulation in international law are drawn from diverse fields
including environmental treaty law, international trade law, food
safety regulation and standard-setting, biosafety and chemicals
regulation. The book also addresses the important question of the
most appropriate balance between science and non-scientific inputs
in different areas of international risk regulation.
Australian Climate Law in Global Context is a comprehensive guide
to current climate change law in Australia and internationally. It
includes discussion of: emission trading schemes and carbon pricing
laws, laws on renewable energy, biosequestration, carbon capture
and storage and energy efficiency; the trading of emission offsets
between developed and developing countries, the new international
scheme for the protection of forests (REDD) and the transfer of
green finance and technology from developed to developing states,
the adaptation to climate change through legal frameworks. It
assesses the international climate change regime from a legal
perspective, focusing on Australia's unique circumstances and its
domestic implementation of climate-related treaties. It considers
how the challenge of climate change should be integrated into
broader environmental law and management. It is a valuable resource
for students in law and environmental science, for current and
future legal practitioners and for policy-makers and those in the
commercial sector.
