Details

At the KU Leuven Faculty of Law and Criminology, a sustainability community was created to reflect on the question how our legal discipline can contribute to a more sustainable economy and society. This book is the result of a unique collaboration between more than fifty researchers. It addresses sustainability, law and criminology in a multi-faceted manner.

With this book, the authors aspire to contribute to the sustainability debate and the search for legal pathways to provide solutions for the sustainability challenges of our times. The authors provide insights for legal practice and help to understand the intricacy of sustainability questions in different legal domains.

The core idea which pervades this book is that sustainability is a transversal theme that calls for a cross-cutting approach both in interaction with other disciplines as well as in our own internal dialogues.

The book aims to stimulate and strengthen cross-disciplinary research on sustainability, law and criminology and to provide inspiration for sustainability education and legal practice
