Details

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.

As environmental crises become ever more urgent and severe, it is crucial to reflect on the potential solutions that the law can offer. This timely Research Agenda introduces new directions for study and practice, presenting insights into the role of environmental law in securing a sustainable society.

Josephine van Zeben and Chris Hilson bring together a wide range of expert contributors to analyse cutting-edge developments in environmental law. Drawing on interdisciplinary material, they introduce novel conceptual frameworks and explore important topics including degrowth, rewilding, circular economy, the regenerative, corporate climate litigation and sustainable finance. A Research Agenda for Environmental Law highlights pressing legal strategies and avenues for development that will help address the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

This thought-provoking book is an essential resource for those studying or researching in areas related to environmental law, climate law and transnational law. Its practical foresight will also benefit practitioners and policymakers in the field.
