Details

The recent Brexit debates focus on many questions, but surprisingly, given its potential impact, little was discussed in terms of the environment.

This exciting and important new work argues that Brexit represents a real opportunity for environmental protection in the United Kingdom; freeing it from a pan European framework not necessarily fit for UK domestic purposes. Central to the argument is the belief that environmental protections can only be effectively developed at the national level, allowing them to reflect the specificity of the local ecology.

The book is designed to address rather than dismiss those concerns raised by environmental lawyers after the outcome of the referendum. Provocative and compelling, it offers an alternative vision of the UK environmental law framework outside of the European Union.
