Edward Elgar Publishing has announced the following:
Randall S Abate and Elizabeth Ann Kronk (eds), Climate Change And Indigenous Peoples: The Search for
Legal Remedies
This timely volume explores the ways in which indigenous peoples
across the world are challenged by climate change impacts, and discusses the
legal resources available to confront those challenges.
Indigenous peoples occupy a unique niche within the climate
justice movement, as many indigenous communities live subsistence lifestyles
that are severely disrupted by the effects of climate change. Additionally, in
many parts of the world, domestic law is applied differently to indigenous
peoples than it is to their non-indigenous peers, further complicating the
quest for legal remedies. The contributors to this book bring a range of expert
legal perspectives to this complex discussion, offering both a comprehensive
explanation of climate change-related problems faced by indigenous communities
and a breakdown of various real world attempts to devise workable legal
solutions. Regions covered include North and South America (Brazil, Canada, the
US and the Arctic), the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Tuvalu and the Federated States
of Micronesia), Australia and New Zealand, Asia (China and Nepal) and Africa
(Kenya).
This comprehensive volume will appeal to professors and students
of environmental law, indigenous law and international law, as well as
practitioners and policymakers with an interest in indigenous legal issues and
environmental justice.
Additional titles in international law include:
Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, Christina Leb, and Mara Tignino
(eds), International Law And Freshwater: The Multiple Challenges
Onita Das, Environmental Protection, Security And Armed Conflict: A Sustainable Development Perspective
Alexander Orakhelashvili (ed), Research Handbook On The Theory And History Of International
Law
