Abstract:
This book delves into the dynamic evolution of environmental law, reworking and expanding select contributions from the ninth conference of the European Environmental Law Forum. With a particular focus on the themes of connectivity and intersection, as well as conflicts and frictions. Rethinking Environmental Law offers profound insights into how contemporary environmental law grapples with the global environmental crisis and navigates the ecological transation. Contemporary environmental law is tasked with comprehending the intricate and far-reaching implications of human activity on the Earth System, especially in the context of the climate emergency, which is the most salient episode of the transition to the Anthropocene era. The subjects addressed in the book's chapters highlight the significant challenges presented by this complexity within the realm of environmental studies. They underscore the necessity for interdisciplinary collaboration and provide a departure from traditional sectoral and jurndictional boundaries inherent in more traditional legal approaches. Readers will discern the ongoing transformation of environmental law into a multifaceted field where diverse legal disciplines intersect and where connections with non-legal disciplines become imperative.
