Book Description
This Handbook of European Environment and Climate Law is the 2nd edition of the work previously titled Handbook of European Environment Law. It is associated with the Traité de droit européen de l’environnement et du climat and the Manuel de droit européen de l’environnement et du climat, both in the French language and published in the same collection, and with which it shares a same structure. The Traité provides a more in-depth approach, with further historic, policy and caselaw considerations, and more complete references. The introduction in the book’s title of the climate dimension, while it was already quite present in the previous edition, is testimony to its growing importance absent a dedicated EU policy and corresponding legislative basis. Climate law is covered in its many occurrences along the work, its specificities noted, and their consequences recognized, especially with respect to the international background which brings about novel legal interventions, an upheaval of classical approaches, through the creation of a new governance for the implementation of the Paris Agreement and of the resulting EU legislation. The recurring changes in the many and diverse environmental legislations are also of course presented in context, including in light of the growing importance of circular economy and the proposal of a European Green Deal. The growing interference of fundamental rights is henceforth considered: Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Union, Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, etc. More broadly, the development of environmental and climate disputes settlement is accounted for beyond the traditional recourse to the EU judges, in the national courts including through transnational private litigation, and in international arbitration.

ESG and Disputes
Author: James Menz
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403540788
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
ASA Special Series ‘We must measure what we value, not just value what is simple to measure.’ This statement from the US White House encapsulates the global trend dubbed ESG – an insistence on attending to the natural environment, social values, and responsible governance in business affairs. A salient aspect of this trend is the ‘explosion’ of human rights and environment-related disputes that have come to the fore on the international legal landscape. In this timely and crucially important volume, distinguished jurists, representatives of governments and NGOs, and in-house counsel identify and analyse the sources of ESG-related litigation and arbitration, providing an extensive treatment of the nature of ESG disputes and their resolution across both commercial and investment fora. The contributions are based on papers presented at a conference organized by the Swiss Arbitration Association in February 2023. Among the issues and topics raised, many of them relatively new to legal theory and practice, are the following: emergence of nature-related assets and markets dealing in nature-related products; intensification of ESG-related regulation; which disputes could trigger which type of arbitrations; ESG-specific arbitration clauses as risk mitigation measures; controversial role of the Energy Charter Treaty; ESG-compliant supply chains; ESG scoring; rights of nature – recognizing ecosystems as subjects with rights; and the criminal act of ecocide. Of immediate interest is a discussion focused on concrete ways in which each and every arbitration practitioner can contribute to a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible arbitration practice. In its recognition that ESG is profoundly linking environmental and social protection values with the monetary aspects in the life of both corporations and states, the book identifies key drivers for future ESG-related disputes and enables stakeholders to position themselves in an emerging field. It will prove of inestimable value to all practitioners, policymakers, and other professionals dedicated to the protection of natural resources and of human life itself.

Manuel de droit européen de l'environnement et du climat
Author: Patrick Thieffry
Publisher: Bruylant
ISBN: 2802769758
Category : Law
Languages : fr
Pages : 380
Book Description
Le présent Manuel de droit européen de l’environnement et du climat constitue la 3e édition de l’ouvrage jusqu’ici intitulé Manuel de droit européen de l’environnement. Il est adossé au Traité du même nom et associé au Handbook of European Environmental and Climate Law publiés dans la même collection, avec lesquels il partage une même architecture. Le Traité fournit une approche plus approfondie, avec une perspective historique, politique et jurisprudentielle, et surtout un appareil scientifique plus complet. L’inclusion dans le titre de l’ouvrage de la dimension climatique, déjà présente dans chacune des précédentes éditions, manifeste l’importance qu’elle y a pris en l’absence d’une politique européenne et d’une base juridique autonomes. Le droit du climat est couvert dans ses multiples occurrences tout au long de l’ouvrage, ses spécificités notées et leurs conséquences reconnues, en particulier eu égard au contexte international inédit et porteur d’interventions juridiques radicalement nouvelles, un véritable chambardement des approches classiques par l’instauration d’une nouvelle gouvernance pour la mise en œuvre de l’accord de Paris et de la législation européenne qui en résulte. Les itératives révisions des législations environnementales sont bien entendu aussi mises en perspective, notamment avec la montée en puissance de l’économie circulaire et la proposition d’un Pacte vert pour l’environnement. L’immixtion croissante des droits fondamentaux est désormais analysée : charte des droit fondamentaux de l’Union, convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits de l’homme (CEDH)... Plus généralement, le déploiement du contentieux environnemental et climatique se manifeste, par-delà les traditionnels recours aux juges de l’Union, devant les juridictions nationales, au-delà du classique contentieux administratif jusque dans le contentieux international privé, et même devant les juridictions arbitrales.

Global Environmental Constitutionalism
Author: James R. May
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107022258
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Traité de droit européen de l'environnement
Author: Patrick Thieffry
Publisher: Bruylant
ISBN: 2802753355
Category : Law
Languages : fr
Pages : 824
Book Description
Le présent ouvrage est la 3e édition du Traité de droit de l’environnement de l’Union européenne qui explicite et approfondit, pour les besoins des professionnels et des chercheurs, la synthèse publiée en 2014 dans le Manuel du même nom, également au sein de la collection Droit de l’Union européenne. Ce double niveau d’approche est particulièrement justifié par le fait qu’œuvre monumentale de près de cinquante années, fragmentée, complexe et évolutive du fait tant des phénomènes environnementaux que de contraintes constitutionnelles, politiques et économiques, le Droit de l’environnement de l’Union n’en commande pas moins dans une très large mesure les législations nationales des vingt-huit États membres. À quelques semaines de la Conférence de Paris sur le climat, cette 3e édition dresse un état des lieux des réformes législatives intervenues, toujours significatives, depuis le traité de Lisbonne et le « plan d’action-climat », et peut-être surtout d’une jurisprudence particulièrement nourrie et qui manifeste une appropriation de la matière aussi bien par les juridictions nationales que par la Cour de justice et le Tribunal de l’Union. Le droit européen de l’environnement reste profondément marqué par des sources d’inspiration libre-échangistes en dépit des progrès de la politique commune de l’environnement et de la montée en puissance de la politique de l’énergie et du principe d’intégration. Gouvernance et management environnementaux s’insèrent dans un cadre complexe, au sein duquel une conciliation doit s’opérer entre objectifs économiques et environnementaux autour de concepts tels que la recherche d’un niveau élevé de protection respectueux de la proportionnalité, de l’égalité et… du développement durable. Un rappel de ce cadre permet une présentation synthétique et dynamique des centaines de mesures qui fournissent les paramètres environnementaux de l’activité humaine, des grands domaines de l’environnement aux objets ayant un impact sur celui-ci. Le succès des instruments économiques est confirmé par le caractère incontournable des marchés de droit d’émission de gaz à effet de serre ou de la responsabilité élargie du producteur à la fin de vie de ses produits, plus que par l’éco-fiscalité. Quant à l’intégration des exigences de la protection de l’environnement dans les autres politiques, elle régule les tensions inévitables avec les règles du marché, la politique agricole commune ou la santé humaine. La politique de l’énergie, instituée par le traité de Lisbonne, doit quant à elle encore tester les frontières de son domaine d’intervention avec celui de la politique de l’environnement.

European Union Law in Context
Author: Ester Herlin-Karnell
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509901418
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
This textbook provides an explanatory and contextual view of EU law and its impact in a simple and easily accessible yet analytical manner. It illustrates the power struggles behind a given EU law act, to allow for full understanding of how it developed. This allows the student to understand EU law as a force in the increasingly globalized world, rather than as technical and doctrinal subject. The textbook begins by setting the scene of EU integration, how we got there and why it is important. Thereafter it explores the constitutional framework for understanding EU law in context and by discussing inter alia, division of competences, accountability, legitimacy, enforcement, human rights, participation rights and so on as well as the general principles of the EU and citizenship rights. Subsequently the textbook explores the essentials of the internal market as well as the principles of competition law. It also discusses free movement rights and links to the growing “Area of Freedom, Security and Justice”. Finally the textbook offers fresh insights on the external dimension of EU law and the role of the EU in the world today before concluding with an outlook on the future of EU law including the consequences of events such as Brexit.

The Iron Rhine (IJzeren Rijn) Arbitration (Belgium-Netherlands)
Author: Permanent Court of Arbitration
Publisher: Asser Press
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The Iron Rhine Arbitration (or 'Jzeren Rijn' as it is known in Dutch) decided, in 2005, a dispute between the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of the Netherlands concerning the reactivation of the Iron Rhine railway linking the port of Antwerp, Belgium, to the Rhine Basin in Germany across certain parts of Dutch territory. The Arbitral Tribunal was called upon to interpret nineteenth-century treaties, which granted certain rights to Belgium on the territory of the Netherlands, and to consider the entitlement of the Netherlands to insist on conditions specified under Dutch law, particularly with respect to environmental protection, for reactivation of the railway. This unique bilingual edition comprises the official English version of the Award, as well as a French translation. It includes an Introduction by Colin Warbrick, Professor of Public International Law at the University of Birmingham.
