This handbook explores the dynamic new field of Environmental Restorative Justice. Authors from diverse disciplines discuss how principles and practices of restorative justice can be used to address the threats and harms facing the environment today. The book covers a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical discussions about how to incorporate the voice of future generations, nature, and more-than-human animals and plants in processes of justice and repair, through to detailed descriptions of actual practices of Environmental Restorative Justice. The case studies explored in the volume are situated in a wide range of countries and in the context of varied forms of environmental harm – from small local pollution incidents, to endemic ongoing issues such as wildlife poaching, to cataclysmic environmental catastrophes resulting in cascades of harm to entire ecosystems. Throughout, it reveals how the relational and caring character of a restorative ethos can be conducive to finding solutions to problems through sharing stories, listening, healing, and holding people and organisations accountable for prevention and repairing of harm. It speaks to scholars in Criminology, Sociology, Law, and Environmental Justice and to practitioners, policy-makers, think-tanks and activists interested in the environment.Brunilda Pali is Senior Researcher at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, KU Leuven, Belgium.

“At this crucial, and terrifying, time in earth’s trajectory, when human/non-human action engagements have been, and are, so consequential, and when the prospect of a sixth mass extinction looms larger every day, this volume, with its wealth of thoughtful and telling insights drawn from restorative justice, charts possibilities for planetary restoration. It does so at a moment when nothing is more important, and more urgent, than collective action that will reconstitute our planetary engagements. This volume constitutes an urgent call for action by criminologists, to do what everyone of us living today must do – namely, contribute, urgently and with all our might to realizing the possibility of a liveable tomorrow.” (Clifford Shearing, Professor of Law, Universities of Cape Town, Griffith, Montreal, and New South Wales, Australia)“You may think ‘restorative justice’ sounds abstract, utopian, narrow – if so, you are wrong. This truly engaging and wide-ranging collection of essays covers the theory, philosophy and application of restorative justice. Insights and analysis range across the past and the future, case-studies from around the world, and ideas of trusteeship, remedy and repair. It is the definitive guide.”(Nigel South, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Essex, UK)“In the face of an unprecedented global environmental crisis that is eroding the very foundations of life on Earth, it is clear that we need new ideas, creative solutions, and a profound rethinking of the relationship between humans and the rest of nature. This handbook delivers a thought-provoking smorgasbord of innovative proposals that collectively have the potential to spark rapid, systemic and transformative changes in society.” (David Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and the environment)“The IPCC tells us that we have only three years left to limit climate change and ensure a ‘liveable future’. IBPES tells us that we have entered a sixthmass extinction. It is important to do everything possible to force industrial activity to respect the Earth system, with the recognition of the crime of ecocide being the most universal legal solution, but it is also clear that we must move quickly towards a society capable of adapting to the new living conditions that await us. This path is that of resilience, and resilience cannot be achieved without Environmental Restorative Justice and without transitional justice that recognises the status of victims for populations depending on them for survival, in particular Indigenous people, future generations, and non-human beings. This book is therefore fundamental because it gives us the tools to design tomorrow's world with ecosystemic new rules, and beyond that to reintegrate the Earth community.” (Valerie Cabanes, member of the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide)
