The Global Environment and International Law
"Written in a way that will be accessible to non-specialists . . . this
book will help them understand international legal processes relating to
the environment, which is how most environmental issues are addressed
these days. . . . The information is solid, the examples good, the
theoretical structure useful, and the topic important." --Elizabeth R.
DeSombre, Frost Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and
Associate Professor of Political Science, Wellesley College
International law has become the key arena for protecting the global
environment. Since the 1970s, literally hundreds of international
treaties, protocols, conventions, and rules under customary law have
been enacted to deal with such problems as global warming, biodiversity
loss, and toxic pollution.
