With unique scholarly analysis and practical discussion, this book
provides a comprehensive introduction to the relationship between
environmental protection and human rights being formalized into law in
many legal systems. This book instructs on environmental techniques
and procedures that assist in the protection of human rights. The text
provides cogent guidance on a growing international jurisprudence on
the promotion and protection of human rights in relation to the
environment that has been developed by international and regional
human rights bodies and tribunals. It explores a rich body of case law
that continues to develop within states on the environmental dimension
of the rights to life, to health, and to public participation and
access to information. Five compelling contemporary case studies are
included that implicate human rights and the environment, ranging from
large dam projects to the creation of a new human right to a clean
environment.
