The Ecological Constitution integrates the insights of
environmental constitutionalism and ecological law in a concise,
engaging and accessible manner. This book sets out the necessary
components of any constitution that could be considered
"ecological" in nature. In particular, it argues that an ecological
constitution is one that codifies the following key principles, at
a minimum: the principle of sustainability; intergenerational
equity and the public trust doctrine; environmental human rights;
rights of nature; the precautionary principle and non-regression;
and rights and obligations relating to a healthy climate. In the
context of the global environmental crisis that characterises the
current Anthropocene era, these principles are important tools for
changing consciousness and driving pragmatic policy reforms around
the world. Re-imagining constitutions along these lines could play
a vital role in the collective project of building a sustainable
future for humans, animals, ecosystems and the biosphere we all
share. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars
of environmental law, ecological law, environmental
constitutionalism, sustainability and rights of nature.

Canadian environmental law is a dynamic and exciting area that is
playing an increasingly important role in furthering sustainable
development policy. Environmental law has distinctive relevant
principles, operating procedures, implications, and importance in
comparison with other areas of law, and these distinctions must be
appreciated both within the legal community and by all those who
are concerned with the way that courts handle environmental cases.
Environment in the Courtroom provides extensive insight into
Canadian environmental law. Covering key environmental concepts and
the unique nature of environmental damage, environmental
prosecutions, sentencing and environmental offences, evidentiary
issues in environmental processes and hearings, issues associated
with site inspections, investigations, and enforcement, and more,
this collection has the potential to make make a significant
difference at the level of understanding and practice. Containing
perspective and insight from experienced and prominence Canadian
legal practitioners and scholars, Environment in the Courtroom
addresses the Canadian provinces and territories and provides
context by comparison to the United States and Australia. No other
collection covers these topics so comprehensively. This is an
essential reference for all those interested in Canadian
environmental law.
