Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked reveals a critical oversight in global climate action: the failure to integrate property law into climate policy and regulatory frameworks.Through systematic analysis of mitigation and adaptation strategies, Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked demonstrates how the neglect of property law fundamentals undermines the effectiveness of climate responses, with particular focus on Australia and New Zealand. The book offers both diagnosis and direction, examining why current approaches fall short and identifying how property law integration could strengthen climate responses. From land use planning to coastal adaptation and carbon sequestration, the authors demonstrate that property law must be integrated within climate change policy. By mapping these crucial connections, this book provides a roadmap for developing regulatory frameworks that work with, rather than against, existing property systems.This book will appeal to researchers in the fields of property law, environmental law and governance, and comparative law. It will also be of interest to policymakers, lawmakers, urban planners, and legal practitioners.

Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked

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.

Cultural Values and Transboundary River Protection under International Environmental Law

'Everyone should read this book' - George Monbiot 'A compelling read for anyone who cares about all lives on our planet' - Tanya Steele CBE, CEO of WWF UK In this extraordinary and hopeful book, leading environmentalist Tony Juniper CBE identifies the real problem at the heart of the climate and nature crises. From soil loss to wildfires, degraded rivers, mass migration and conflict, the environmental crisis is already here - and it's set to get much worse. While billionaires build remote bunkers and make plans for colonies on Mars, climate collapse impacts the most vulnerable among us first and hardest. But what this radical and ground-breaking book proves is that inequality isn't just about who suffers the consequences, it is the main obstacle blocking action - and it has been for decades. How can people lead good lives without ultimately hastening global collapse? The answer lies in fairness. We can't fight the climate and nature crises without addressing the ever-widening gaps between the rich and poor, the powerful and the weak. Drawing upon more than 40 years of experience in research, practical work, campaigning and advocacy, combined with interviews with globally renowned experts, in Just Earth Tony Juniper reveals the system shifts needed to achieve real, lasting change.

Earthscan Studies in Natural Resource Management

Earthscan Water Text

This volume challenges the assumption that dominant water-management solutions are universally effective, neutral and scientifically validated.Global water policy tends to frame certain concepts and tools - such as river basin organisations, water pricing, drip irrigation, nature-based solutions and wastewater reuse - as 'best practices'. These ready-made solutions, endorsed by policymakers, development agencies and experts, are widely disseminated across countries with limited critical scrutiny. This book examines how these dominant solutions, while often appearing rational and evidence-based, can obscure trade-offs, negative externalities and unintended consequences. From irrigation modernisation projects that inadvertently increase water consumption due to the rebound effect, to water user associations that fail to address deeper governance and equity issues, the book engages with 20 'best practices' to illustrate how universal solutions often ignore the complexity of water politics, institutional settings, cultural specificities and ecological realities. While not dismissing the value of best practices outright, this book argues for a more sceptical, politically aware and context-sensitive approach to water management. It calls for a shift in the burden of proof: rather than accepting a best practice as effective unless proven otherwise, water governance should start by scrutinizing the potential externalities, risks and limitations of any proposed intervention.This book is essential reading for students, academics and professionals in water policy, water governance and environmental management more broadly.

Routledge Studies in Conservation and the Environment

How to Think Like an Ecologist offers a witty and engaging guide to the science behind restoring the planet and, by association, ourselves.Aimed at non-science students, this book demystifies the basic science of environmental global changes, from climate change to biodiversity loss, while tackling the natural constraints that shape our future. The book dives into the unique power of science as a tool for uncovering truths about the natural world and equips readers with strategies to spot and counter scientific misinformation. Exploring how differing views of nature can spark conflict, it emphasises the importance of clarity and community in setting environmental priorities. To address environmental challenges requires a basic ecological literacy, so the science of ecology and evolution are examined. The text unpacks the interconnected crises we face, from plastic pollution, invasive species, ocean acidification, and more, arguing for holistic, systemic solutions. The final chapters inspire action, addressing what it takes to create a sustainable society and how to cultivate hope in these challenging times.Filled with innovative ideas and real-world examples, this alternative textbook is a must-read for students in introductory environmental courses and those in other disciplines seeking to grasp the fundamental science behind our rapidly changing global environment.

A Non-Scientist's Guide to Saving Our Planet

How to Think Like an Ecologist

From the man that the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;calls “the most important person you’ve never heard of,” renowned Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta, comes a paradigm shifting treatise, asking a simple yet profound question—what if we put a value on nature, just as we put a value on everything else?&nbsp;For just about everything of value in life, there is an economic model. If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for&nbsp;free&nbsp;and treat as&nbsp;infinite: nature.&nbsp;Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable. In&nbsp;On Natural Capital, award-winning Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal new approach to economics that asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? Rooted in mankind’s struggle against climate change, Dasgupta’s approach examines the existential need to rethink our relationship to nature and see its preservation as an economic imperative. Challenging much of economic thought that has come before, Dasgupta presents an urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics with a profound new model—one so radical that only an economist of his stature could make the world take it seriously.&nbsp;On Natural Capital&nbsp;is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.

The Value of the World Around Us

On Natural Capital

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.

Principles, Challenges, and Practices for a Sustainable Future

Ecotourism Essentials

This book explores the critical role of ecocentric ethics in environmental conservation and restoration. It argues that adopting ecocentric principles in policies and practices is essential for achieving lasting and widespread conservation. Inspired by Aldo Leopold's land ethics, the book emphasizes respect and reverence for Nature as vital for fostering an "ecological conscience."The book revisits the pioneering contributions of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, the "father of plant neurobiology," whose revolutionary findings on plant sensory responses and proto-consciousness were ahead of their time. It challenges the dichotomy of 'global versus local' by advocating for a synthesis of these concepts, while rejecting the 'othering' of nonhuman Nature. The book also calls for integrating ecocentric principles into environmental education and restoration projects, offering fresh perspectives on conservation ethics. Supported by a wealth of case studies, it provides practical insights into the application of ecocentric principles, making complex ideas accessible to a broad audience.This book shall be useful to the departments of environmental studies, conservation biology, ethics, and education. It would also be an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, educators, and nature lovers. By addressing western environmental ethics, Aldo Leopold's contributions, and globalization, supported by case studies from diverse regions, it appeals to a global audience invested in the ethical dimensions of environmental conservation.
