Infos

While most scholarship on rights of nature in the international context has focused on comparison of national legal developments, this book offers an original and in-depth analysis of the intersection between rights of nature and the foundational principles of international law. By doing so, it contributes a distinctive and relevant perspective to the academic literature on international legal theory and environmental governance.
