Critics Review
‘Global Environmental Law at a Crossroads is well worth a read - it paints a thoughtful, multi-faceted picture of the current tides of environmental law in the various levels of it.’ – Tiina Paloniitty, IUCN Academy of Environmental Law
‘The normative and institutional distance travelled since UNCHE has been considerable. There have been notable successes, but more often than not environmental indicators continue to evince disturbing downward trends. This collection brings together cutting-edge scholarship designed to explore where we have been, where we are, and where we might be going - Global Environmental Law at a Crossroads. Contributors explore the continuing challenges we face, but they also look ably and deeply at the opportunities for improvement in governance that might address these challenges. For those concerned where we are headed, this will be a welcome addition to the library.’ – Donald K. Anton, The Australian National University College of Law
‘This is a remarkable publication wherein some of the world’s leading environmentalists discuss in an informed and transparent manner global, regional and national environmental challenges. The unique character of this book is that it links global issues of the environment (sustainable development; the creation of the World Environmental Organization) with national issues such as the right of nature in Ecuador. The book also presents a critical overview of the Rio+20 Conference. The particular feature of this outstanding book is its very analytical and straightforward approach to environmental issues adopted by its authors. Such a book is a must to all environmental lawyers, scholars and practitioners and in particular for a young generation of people who are interested in our planet.’ – Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Queen Mary University of London
