Charting Environmental Law Futures in the Anthropocene

This book explores a range of plausible futures for environmental law in the new era of the Earth's history: the Anthropocene. The book discusses multiple contemporary and future challenges facing the planet and humanity. It examines the relationship between environmental law and the Anthropocene at governance scales from the global to the local. The breadth of issues and jurisdictions covered by the book, its forward-looking nature, and the unique generational perspective of the contributing authors means that this publication appeals to a wide audience from specialist academics and policy-makers to a broader lay readership.

Questions the suitability and efficacy of existing environmental laws, and charts pathways for the further development of legal mechanisms in light of global environmental change Highlights legal and institutional mechanisms to help shape sustainable futures Investigates desirable futures for environmental law itself
