Edited by Anna Grear, Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Waikato, New Zealand and Louis J. Kotzé, Research Professor, North-West University, South Africa and Senior Professorial Fellow in Earth System Law, University of Lincoln, UK<i>‘Professors Grear and Kotzé have masterfully fashioned a landmark work on human rights and the natural environment. This </i>Research Handbook<i> is more than just a library of current ideas about this important topic; it is an intellectual tour de force that stimulates new thinking on the place of social justice and moral responsibility in the Anthropocene.’</i>
- Benjamin J. Richardson, University of Tasmania, Australia,
<i>‘As the connections between human rights and the environment become deeper and broader, this </i>Handbook<i> offers an indispensable point of reference. A seriously impressive group of scholars addresses a seriously interesting range of themes that inform and challenge the totality of our understanding.’</i>
- Philippe Sands, University College London, UK,
The accomplished contributors provide researchers and students with a rich source of reflection and engagement with the topic. Split into five parts, the book covers epistemologies, core values and closures, constitutionalisms, universalisms and regionalisms, with a final concluding section exploring major challenges and alternative futures.
An essential resource for students and scholars of human rights law, the volume will also be of significant interest to those in the fields of environmental and constitutional law.
