Pragmatic Legal and Policy Implications of Environmental Lawmaking
Nima Norouzi
The publication of environmental degradation statistics worldwide and the announcement of scientific assessments of the process of its destruction have attracted everyone's attention to the environment. On the world stage, international environmental laws and regulations must be formulated to protect the environment and humanity from further harm. This book provides selective coverage of environmental and energy law within the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom as well as internationally. It is crucial to examine environmental and energy law from a wide range of perspectives and approaches to gain insight into how the law is designed to tackle particular environmental problems arising in both professional and theoretical settings. Pragmatic Legal and Policy Implications of Environmental Lawmaking bridges the knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve environmental and/or energy objectives (for example, pollution control and conservation) on the one hand and the practical, scientific, and technical considerations applicable to the same environmental problems on the other. By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental and energy law, the book embraces all readerships and goes a step further to address the often-difficult problem of improving communication between scientists and engineers and law and policymakers. Covering topics such as environmental degradation, energy law, and international trade legislation, the book will be useful to law students and professionals working in the fields of environmental and/or energy law, engineering and (geo)science students and professionals, as well as others working in various other disciplines.

Innovations in Environmental Legislation and Justice
Nima Norouzi
Human health has been protected from environmental contamination by national laws throughout history, but there are still many areas of international environmental law that are underdeveloped. Even though numerous international environmental treaties have been established, effective agreements remain difficult to achieve for a variety of reasons. Because environmental problems disregard political boundaries, they can only be adequately addressed by a wide range of governments, some of which may have serious disagreements on important points of policy. The knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve environmental objectives and the practical, scientific, and technical applications must be bridged. Environmental and energy law should be explored from a wide range of perspectives and approaches to gain insight into how the law is designed to tackle particular environmental problems. Innovations in Environmental Legislation and Justice: Environmental and Water-Energy-Food Nexus Laws examines the development and application of international environmental laws and regulations dealing with global air, water, and land pollution. By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental and energy law, the book embraces all readerships and goes a step further to address the often thorny problem of improving communication between scientists and engineers and law and policymakers. Covering topics such as environmental justice, green constitutions, and climate change, this book is ideal for policymakers, government officials, legal professionals, environmentalists, students, academicians, researchers, and more.
