Despite the clear link between climate change and human rights with the potential for virtually all protected rights to be undermined as a result of climate change, its catastrophic impact on human beings was not really understood as a human rights issue until recently. This book examines the link between climate change and human rights in a comprehensive manner. It looks at human rights approaches to climate change, including the jurisprudential bases for human rights and the environment, the theoretical framework governing human rights and the environment, and the different approaches to this including benchmarks. In addition to a discussion of human rights implications of international environmental law principles in the climate change regime, the book explores how the human rights framework can be used in relation to mitigation, adaption, and adjudication. Other chapters examine how vulnerable groups –women, indigenous peoples and climate "refugees" – would be disproportionately affected by climate change. The book then goes on to discuss a new category of people created by climate change, those who will be rendered stateless as a result of states disappearing and displaced by climate change, and whether human rights law can adequately address these emerging issues.

Among its highlights, the text examines the interaction of principles/concepts such as sustainable development, the precautionary principle etc., with one another and how the present international environmental law regime has taken the vast disparity between developed and developing countries into account in designing innovative methods to accommodate this disparity.

This book presents a variety of articles on contemporary issues in environmental law by eminent university professors of environmental law, international public law, European Union law, and comparative law in Europe and Japan. It is the first book in the field of environmental law based on the results of international conferences and research activities supported by the European Union delegation in Japan. Current essential and global topics such as principles of environmental law, climate change, biodiversity, ethics pertaining to animal rights , nuclear safety regime after Fukushima, environmental impact assessments, protecting international waters, genetically-modified organisms, and implementing international instruments, and EU rules at the national level are discussed in light of the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon and other recent international treaties, by comparing the approaches taken by the EU, European countries, and Japan. As environmental law is not just a national issue but also a global one, it is important to understand and analyse various aspects of current environmental issues. This book is a response to such needs, and represents the joint work of five Japanese and four European (two German and two Italian) professors who have succeeded in creating something that is both unique and remarkable.

Answering the key question of whether there is an obligation for States to define and enact sound climate policies in order to avoid the impacts of global warming, this timely book provides expert analysis on recent global climate cases, assessing not only the plaintiffs' claims but also the legal reasoning put forward by the courts. As an increasing number of environmental organisations are requiring domestic courts to answer this fundamental question, this book illustrates that more and more court decisions are confirming that the discretion held by States with regards to the issue of climate change is not unlimited. The book explores how States must also demonstrate that sufficient action is being taken to protect their citizens from risks. With in-depth assessments of common legal grounds, such as the international climate change regime, environmental law principles and human rights, it further highlights potential issues for climate litigation including the separation of powers and the standing of the plaintiffs themselves. Addressing current and emerging issues, this timely book will be an excellent resource for scholars of environmental law, climate change and human rights. Environmental activists and organisations looking for examples of initiatives to tackle issues such as environmental protection and justice will find this informative and insightful.

The goal of this book is to explore disaster risk reduction (DRR), migration, climate change adaptation (CCA) and sustainable development linkages from a number of different geographical, social and natural science angles. Well-known scientists and practitioners present different perspectives regarding these inter-linkages from around the world, with theoretical discussions as well as field observations. This publication contributes in particular to the discussion on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 and the debate about how to improve DRR, including CCA, policies and practices, taking into account migration processes from a large perspective where both natural and social factors are crucial and mutually “alloyed”. Some authors see the SFDRR as a positive step forward in terms of embracing a multitude of issues, others doubting that the agreement will lead to much concrete action toward real action on the ground. This book is a timely contribution for researchers, students and policy makers in the fields of environment, human geography, migration, disaster and climate change studies who seek a more comprehensive grasp of contemporary development issues.

This volume examines environmental law and governance in the Pacific, focusing on the emerging challenges this region faces. The Pacific is home to some of the world’s most astonishing biological and cultural diversity. At the same time, Pacific Island nations are economically and technically under-resourced in the face of tremendous environmental challenges. Destructive weather events, ocean acidification, mining, logging, overfishing, and pollution increasingly degrade ecosystems and affect fishing, farming, and other cultural practices of Pacific Islanders. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to understand and analyse the role of law and governance in responding to these pressures in the Pacific. Drawing on academic and practitioner expertise from the Pacific region, as well as Europe and the United States, this unique collection navigates the major environmental law and governance challenges of the present and future of the Pacific. Environmental Law and Governance in the Pacific discusses 21 Pacific Island countries and territories, including Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Samoa, and a broad range of themes, such as deep-sea mining, wetlands and mangroves, heritage, endangered species, human rights, and access to justice, are addressed, thus providing a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of environmental law and governance within specific jurisdictions as well as across the Pacific region as a whole. This volume will be essential reading for students and scholars interested in environmental law and governance in the Pacific region, as well as policy-makers, practitioners and NGOs involved in the development and implementation of environmental law and policy.

This book seeks to answer the questions: how do the rules of international treaties on trade and investment apply to the new laws and policies relating to energy-related trade, and do the rules of the multilateral system contribute to or detract from sustainable development? An emerging set of new problems in the law of international trade is how to reconcile the rules of the multilateral trading system with shortages of certain natural resources and the necessity to develop renewable energy resources. The chapters in this book provide a comprehensive analysis of the international trade issues presented by national trade laws and policies with regard to natural resources and energy. This book is about the extent to which we are interpreting existing rules to cover emerging problems and how the rules of the multilateral trading system can be adapted to achieve sustainable development in natural resources and energy. The book begins with a survey of selected national laws relating to recent restrictions on the export of natural resources, both resources used to produce energy as well as natural resources essential for industrial production. After examining the range of such laws in selected important countries, we turn to the application of the rules of the multilateral trading system to such export restrictions. We discuss the major rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as well as the natural resources rules in selected regional preferential free trade agreements. While there is not a comprehensive global legal regime on competition law, we believe it is also important to examine how selected national competition laws impact export restrictions on natural resources. This book will be a major contribution to the international dialogue on international economic law issues with respect to trade in natural resources and energy.

In conceiving this manuscript, that explores the Evolution of International Environmental Law, Sustainability, and Justice," My impetus derives from the profound connection observed on the gravity and need to champion a greener legacy during my tenure as a legal practitioner and lecturer of law. The catalyst for this endeavor emanated from a genuine desire to document the intellectual discourses that transpired during the academic engagements with my students, particularly at Maasai Mara University located at the epicenter of The Great Mara Triangle an ecological marvel and the cornerstone of Kenya's renowned Wildebeest migration. The lamentable circumstances surrounding the destruction of the Mau forest and the vulnerable state of Kenya's indigenous communities in the wake of climate change have been instrumental in galvanizing my scholarly pursuits. This book, therefore, undertakes a meticulous reevaluation of international law, scrutinizing Kenya's alignment with the global community concerning the dynamic landscape of International Environmental Law. The book explores the relationship between the environment and the law, underscoring the critical imperative for environmental conservation. It examines the topography of international law, revealing its role as a steadfast guardian of our environment and examining its evolution, notably its impact on sustainable development. I have made an earnest endeavor to confront a pivotal theme - The concept of environmental justice. Specifically, delving into how legal frameworks can be transformative for marginalized communities, and how the intersectionality of environmental issues underscores the urgency of equitable solutions. The main theme of this book is an urgent call to action to seek a path towards harmony, where legal systems become catalysts for global environmental well-being, particularly championing the rights of impoverished communities and in this pursuit equitable justice, and a sustainable future for all.A central focus in this book is the critical role of public participation in shaping environmental policies. i have made an endeavor to explore case studies from around the world, illustrating the power of grassroots movements and citizen engagement in influencing legislative decisions. I have explored the intersection of law, governance, and public sentiment, emphasizing the need for a harmonious balance that reflects the diverse perspectives within society. Environmental impact assessment emerges as a pivotal tool in the book, I have dissected its significance in mitigating the consequences of human activities on ecosystems. Through detailed analyses of landmark projects and their environmental assessments, readers gain a profound understanding of the complexities involved in striking a balance between development and conservation. There is a chapter dedicated to chemical pollution and water pollution that unveils the hidden threats that jeopardize our ecosystems. It delves into the legal frameworks governing the use and disposal of hazardous chemicals, shedding light on the pressing need for stringent regulations. The exploration of water pollution takes readers on a global journey, uncovering the challenges faced by communities grappling with contaminated water sources and the legal remedies available to them. The heart of the book lies in its examination of international laws and conventions that transcend borders in addressing environmental issues. I have made an earnest effort to navigate the agreements, treaties, and accords designed to foster global cooperation in the face of climate change and ecological degradation. From the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement, readers gain insights into the evolution of international environmental governance as well as the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities and advocates for a holistic approach that intertwines environmental sustainability with social responsibility.
