Routledge Research in International Environmental Law

This book argues that there is an urgent need to reevaluate how international environmental law can enhance the ecological well-being of transboundary rivers.Through understanding the motivations behind river protection, the book identifies the cultural values associated with rivers, and considers how these can be incorporated into international legal frameworks to enhance river protection. The book explores prominent cultural values, including aesthetic, heritage, Indigenous and spiritual values, and presents ways in which these can be recognized through international water law, the sustainable development principle, and protected areas law. Adopting case studies of transboundary rivers worldwide, the book shows that implementing cultural values through international environmental laws can lead to improved ecological outcomes for the world's transboundary rivers.This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of environmental law, international water law, international legal theory, and freshwater conservation.

Strategies for Sustainable Development Series

This textbook is designed to introduce the reader to important and emerging issues in contemporary environmental law, policy, economics, and science. It explains the roles and interactions of Congress, federal agencies, state governments, and the courts in protecting the environment and public health from pollution. Topics include common law; administrative law; the role of environmental impact assessments and endangered species protection; and the principal legislation and court decisions dealing with greenhouse gas emissions, conventional and toxic air pollution, water pollution, the control of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, pollution prevention and primary accident prevention, and community right-to-know. The text also explores various alternatives to regulation and concludes with a brief treatise on sustainability. 
The evolving role of science and economics in legislative, regulatory, and judicial decision making is explored. The text analyzes pollution as an economic problem and a failure of markets, discusses the role of technological innovation and the concept of "dynamic" economic equilibrium, and evaluates economic incentives as an alternative or supplement to regulation. The book also provides an introduction to basic legal skills: how to read and understand judicial opinions, regulations, and statutes; how to discover the current state of the law in a specific area; and how to take action toward resolution of environmental problems. Throughout, the role of national and local politics in shaping and implementing environmental policy is acknowledged and evaluated.

QI refers to a system of knowledge, practices and technologies that forms the basis for the operations of economies and societies, ensures safety and quality and disseminates new knowledge that can be effective for the transition to a circular economy. Based on the analysis of a large number of Chinese and Western sources ranging from policy to legal and technical documents, the book traces the evolution of circular economy policies in China and its integration with green and low carbon policies. It provides ample evidence for the role of QI and its elements, which are standardization, conformity assessment (testing, inspection and certification), market surveillance and others, as important components of China's economic and technological policy towards a green transition.The book will be of great interest to students and scholars from the fields of economics, political and social science, environmental and legal studies. It will also be useful for development specialists interested in China's green transition and the functions of QI in this context.

Risk, Governance and Society

This book examines fair citizen participation as a key element of effective policy support. Over the past two decades, many countries have embraced more reflective and inclusive governance in environmental policymaking. 


This book demonstrates how democratic and deliberative approaches yield better policy outcomes than technocratic methods that only superficially engage the public. Reflective governance highlights the importance of deliberative democracy, offering fair and open discourse opportunities for all stakeholders. Throughout the chapters, some of the most renowned authors in the field present the principal mechanisms for public engagement in deliberative decision-making.


By exploring innovative formats like stakeholder round tables and citizen assemblies, this book provides practical guidance on their unique merits and limitations. It addresses scholars, practitioners, and representatives of administrations, public and private institutions, and NGOs interested in a better understanding of the selection and design of the most effective formats for competent and fair policymaking, ensuring each format meets its full potential.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• The author of Finding the Mother Tree offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal. "A masterclass on the inner workings of forests. . . . This is science as an act of love for the world.” —Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters Early one spring morning, I went back to the forest. I wanted to learn what the mother trees could teach me about survival and adaptability, about living and dying. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires,&nbsp;water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration—from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones—that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions—particularly destruction of the overstory's mother trees—endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.

When the Forest Breathes

Routledge Studies in Sustainability

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the background, practice, potential and challenges associated with developing and using perceptual indicators for assessing sustainability.Sustainability Indicators (SIs) are usually described and portrayed as quantitative metrics that rest above the human realm of subjectivity, opinion and bias. Thus, they are the basis for objectively measuring progress towards the attainment of targets in sustainable development. Unlike the "hard" metrics described above, the way in which we experience the world and frame our personal decisions based on that experience, past and present, is founded on perceptions and these can be inherently subjective. This book argues that perception-based indicators are an important subset of SIs in assessing sustainability, environmental quality and well-being. The chapters draw upon examples such as the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) produced by Transparency International (TI), and a variety of happiness indices, amongst many others. The chapters in the book can be thought of as comprising two parts. The first section provides a broad review of the field of SIs, addressing the challenges involved in identifying, defining and populating SIs, especially for countries in the Global South. The second part of the book summarises the range of participatory approaches that have often been used to develop perception-based indicators of sustainability, along with their respective pros and cons.This book will be useful for students studying social sciences, economics, environmental studies, human geography, politics and international development. The book may also appeal to students taking courses in business studies.

What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge? 'Fascinating' JAMES O'BRIEN 'Thrilling...vividly written, filled with fascinating facts, and inspiring' STEVEN PINKER Sunday Times, i Paper and Nature Book of the Year This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power. Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future. *Updated with a new Introduction* 'I challenge you to read this book and not be excited about how we get on and power the world with sustainable energy for the next century' HANNAH RITCHIE 'A bold reframing of one of the most misunderstood technologies of the modern age ... This book stands out for its capacity to disarm' LITERARY REVIEW 'So interesting ... it'll answer all our questions' JEREMY VINE
