ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND
JUSTICE IN CONTEXT
This innovative collection of essays discusses the extent to which considerations
of justice and fairness have permeated the legal debate on environmental protec-
tion. Written by a wide range of contributors who have approached the subject
from fresh theoretical and practical perspectives, the essays examine how these
permutations of justice have influenced policy choices relating to topics like cli-
mate change, protection of the stratospheric ozone layer, trade and the conduct
of warfare. The significance of participatory rights as a medium for the realisa-
tion of environmental justice is given extended treatment, and the contributors
also assess the congruence between environmental justice and structural issues,
such as gender, class, state borders and, on a global scale, North–South relations.

students of international and domestic law, political science and international
relations.
