Description
In the climate-pressed Anthropocene epoch, nothing could be more urgent than fresh engagements with the fractious relationships between 'humanity', law and the living order. This timely book intelligently combines theoretical reflections, doctrinal analyses and insights drawn from rights-based praxis to offer thoughtful - and at times provocative - engagements with the limitations of law as it faces the complexities of contemporary socio-ecological life-worlds in an age of climate crisis.

'. . . a magnificently rich, highly critical, at times deeply challenging and troubling, and perhaps even paradigm-shifting, collection of works that has been authored by some of the most progressive and interrogative scholars of our time. In their analysis, none of the contributors take anything for granted; they relentlessly push against parochial closures that obscure the possible contours of a re-imagined relationship between human rights and the environment. The book ultimately succeeds in offering a new juridical imaginary for those of us who are concerned with the deeply troubled and complex relationship between human rights and the environment.' -- Louis J. Kotze, North-West University, South Africa, University of Lincoln, UK and Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment
