Due for Publication in December 2010 The Future of International Environmental Law is a collection essays by leading scholars in international environmental law from around the world. The essays explore the future of international environmental law in a world of ever worsening environmental crises. The Future of International Environmental Law examines the successes & the failures of international environmental law, arguing that future responses to global environmental crises will be more about good environmental governance than just more treaties & laws. In Future, environmental governance will need to accommodate the needs & aspirations of peoples from developed & developing countries alike, & will have to be based on decisions & actions by a vast range of stakeholders, - not just the nation state that has traditionally dominated environmental diplomacy to date. This also suggests a need to be cognizant of the close links to other areas of international law including human rights. These essays tackle the major environmental challenges of our times including climate change, biodiversity loss & pollution, & overfishing of the oceans. They examine what we can learn from our experience gained in implementing the vast body of existing international environmental law over the past few decades & also look to the future, considering a range of emerging issues such as the management of the environmental challenges faced by the Arctic, nanotechnology, biofuels & synthetic genomics amongst others.
