Details

Since 2003 climate change and overuse of water resources have emerged as major challenges for the environmental legal system. The second edition of Australian Environmental Law addresses these issues. It remains a principles-based text on environmental law and policy which examines Australia’s environmental system from a doctrinal and instrumental perspective.

Relevant legislation and case law have been updated throughout and the book has been restructured to reflect ever-increasing levels of social, political and academic interest in sustainable development and environmental planning.

The chapters on ecologically sustainable development and the instruments of environmental law have been rewritten, restructured and relocated, and a new chapter on the emerging challenges for environmental law has been added, including discussion of climate change and water resources management.
