International Environmental Law is a new textbook written for
students, practitioners, and anyone interested in the subject. The overall aim
of the book is to provide a fresh understanding of international environmental
law as a whole, seen in the light of climate change, biodiversity loss, and the
other serious environmental challenges facing the world. The book has also been
kept deliberately manageable in size by careful selection of topics and by
adopting a cross-cutting synthesis of regulatory interaction in the field. This
enables the reader to place international environmental law in the broader
context of public international law in general, revealing at the same time that
international environmental law is experimental ground for developing new legal
approaches towards global governance. To this end, the authors have combined
theory and practice. Apart from discussing concepts, rule-making and
compliance, the book looks at options for improved coordination, harmonisation
and even integration of existing multilateral environmental agreements,
analysing how conflicts between various environmental regimes can be avoided
or, at least, adequately managed. The authors argue that an appropriate
management of international environmental relations must address the
North-South divide, which continues to be a major obstacle to global
environmental cooperation. Furthermore, the authors emphasise the growing human
rights dimension of international environmental law. This book is an ideal 'door
opener' for the further study of international environmental law. Focusing on
'international environmental governance' in a comprehensive way, it serves to
explain that each institution, each actor, and each instrument is part of a
multi-dimensional process in international environmental law and relations.
