This open access book presents an important discussion on the
interface between sustainable soil management and climate
mitigation and adaptation. It investigates a variety of aspects in
this context, such as the political and societal consequences for
countries in the Global South, an assessment of the outcomes of the
UNFCCC Conference of Parties held in Glasgow, appropriate legal
instruments to promote desealing, regulatory concepts for negative
emissions in soil and land use, the debate in Europe on carbon
uptake in soils and the climate-related policy of the Convention on
Biological Diversity. Lastly, it provides information on recent
court rulings on climate mitigation in Germany and Australia and
their relevance for sustainable soil management. This sixth volume
of the International Yearbook of Soil Law and Policy is divided
into four parts, the first of which deals with various aspects of
the theme “Climate Mitigation and Adaptation and Sustainable Soil
Management.” The second part covers recent international
developments, the third presents regional and national reports, and
the fourth discusses overarching issues. Given the range of key
topics covered, the book offers an indispensable tool for all
academics, legislators and policymakers working in this field. The
“International Yearbook of Soil Law and Policy” series
discusses central questions in law and politics with regard to the
protection and sustainable management of soil and land – at the
international, national, and regional level.
This book presents an important discussion on land tenure rights
for the effective implementation of sustainable soil management
provisions. It investigates a variety of aspects, such as the clash
of modern and traditional tenure concepts, forms of illegal or
illegitimate land acquisition, and the preconditions for legal and
legitimate investments. In addition, the book analyses the
challenges to ensuring secure land tenure rights in Africa and in
Germany. Lastly, it provides information on the role of women in
this context. This fifth volume of the International Yearbook of
Soil Law and Policy is divided into four parts, the first of which
deals with various aspects of the theme “Land Tenure Rights and
Sustainable Soil Management”. The second part covers recent
international developments, the third part presents regional and
national reports, and the fourth discusses overarching issues.

This 2007 book surveys the global experience to date in
implementing land-use policies that move us further along the
sustainable development continuum. The international community has
long recognized the need to ensure ongoing and future development
is conducted sustainably. While high-level commitments towards
sustainable development such as those included in the Rio and
Johannesburg Declarations are politically important, they are
irrelevant if they are not translated into reality on the ground.
This book includes chapters that discuss the challenges of
implementing sustainable land-use policies in different regions of
the world, revealing problems that are common to all jurisdictions
and highlighting others that are unique to particular regions. It
also includes chapters documenting new approaches to sustainable
land use, such as reforms to property rights regimes and
environmental laws. Other chapters offer comparisons of approaches
in different jurisdictions that can present insights which might
not be apparent from a single-jurisdiction analysis.

Kenya is one of about 42 African countries which have enacted
framework environmental laws. 14 January 2000 was the Date of
Commencement of the Environment Management and Co-ordination Act
(EMCA) after its adoption in December 1999 and receipt of
Presidential Assent on 6 January 2000. From that date, all sectoral
laws were expected to be reviewed or amended to ensure consistency
with the requirements of EMCA. Under Section 148 of EMCA: "Any
written law, in force immediately before the coming into force of
this Act, relating to the management of the environment shall have
effect subject to modification as may be necessary to give effect
to this Act, and where the provisions of any such law conflict with
any provisions of this Act, the provisions of this Act shall
prevail." This book is an appraisal of the extent to which this
provision has been implemented. It critically analyses
environmental law in Kenya with a view to identifying the
convergences and divergences between select sectoral laws and EMCA.
The ultimate objective is to support internal harmonization of the
corpus of environmental law in Kenya.
