This agenda-setting book provides readers with a clear understanding of why responses to issues such as climate change, land use change, and biodiversity loss matter to present generations, and which types of responses are likely to create an equitable and sustainable life for future generations. Fresh perspectives on global environmental change from an interdisciplinary group of international experts will inspire readers – whether students, policy makers, or practitioners – to think differently about environmental issues and sustainable development.
From the first appearance of the term in law in the Clean Water Act of 1972 (US), ecological integrity has been debated by a wide range of researchers whose joint interest was the study and understanding of ecological/biological integrity from various standpoints and disciplines. This volume discusses the need for ecological integrity as a major guiding principle in a variety of policy areas, to counter the present ecological and economic crises with their multiple effects on human rights.
Written by a team of expert academics and practitioners in the field, this innovative book makes a timely and valuable contribution to academic and policy debates in International Environmental Law, International Biodiversity Law, Intellectual Property, Climate Law and the Law of Indigenous Populations. Taking an inductive approach, it starts from existing pools and discusses how they could be further developed to cope with the objectives of the Nagoya Protocol.
