Authors: Philippe Sands, University College London; Jacqueline Peel, University of Melbourne
This new and fully updated edition of
Principles of International Environmental Law offers a comprehensive and
critical account of one of the fastest growing areas of international law: the
principles and rules relating to environmental protection. Introducing the
reader to the key foundational principles, governance structures and regulatory
techniques, Principles of International Environmental Law explores each of the
major areas of international environmental regulation through substantive
chapters, including climate change, atmospheric protection, oceans and
freshwater, biodiversity, chemicals and waste regulation. The ever-increasing
overlap with other areas of international law is also explored through
examination of the inter-linkages between international environmental law and
other areas of international regulation, such as trade, human rights,
humanitarian law and investment law. Incorporating the latest developments in
treaty and case law for key areas of environmental regulation, this text is an
essential reference and textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate
students, academics and practitioners of international environmental law. (Subjects: Comparative Environmental Law; International Environmental Law)
