Earth Law: Emerging Ecocentric Law—A Guide for Practitioners

Earth Law: Emerging Ecocentric Law—A Guide for Practitioners is for students, practicing lawyers, community advocates, and policymakers who seek to preserve a habitable planet and question whether current environmental law is sufficient for the task. Through explorations of constitutional, statutory, common law, and customary law, this book covers the many ways that Nature and human environmental rights can have seats at the table of law—in courts, legislatures, administrative bodies, enforcement agencies, and civil society. The second edition of Earth Law expands and updates the world’s leading coursebook on Earth law, the rapidly emerging body of ecocentric law that seeks to recognize Nature’s intrinsic value and rights and advances other innovative legal approaches to living in harmony with the Earth.
