About the product
In this study of the emerging international legal issues associated with global environmental change, a diverse group of eminent legal scholars and practitioners from around the world addresses the new directions in international environmental law and to a lesser extent in international institutions. The discussion is built around six themes: the growing common interest in the environment, the scientific uncertainty about the environment, the need for an anticipatory and preventive approach, the relevance of human rights, the relationship between economic development and environmental protection and the recent developments in implementing international environmental instruments.
