The Principle Of Sustainability: Transforming Law And Governance

Synopsis

This book defines the building blocks for what has been called sustainability law. The work examines the history and meaning of the concept of sustainability anddescribes the basic principle. What its key features are and how it is distinct from other environmental principles. Developing a typology of environmental principles underpinning international and domestic law, the volume shows how sustainability fits in. The book examines ethical and legal implications of sustainability for three key areas of law. It links the ethical concept of sustainability to the legal concept of justice; explores the links between human rights and the environment; and turns from the individual level (of human rights and duties) to the collective level (of governance).The book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of environmental law and governance.
