Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Global Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene 2016 by Louis J Kotze
There is persuasive evidence suggesting we are on the brink of human-induced ecological disaster that could change life on Earth as we know it. There is also a general consensus among scientists about the pace and extent of global ecological decay including a realisation that humans are central to causing the global ecological crisis. This new epoch has been called the Anthropocene. This book seeks to answer this central question: from the perspective of the Anthrocopene what is environmental constitutionalism and how could it be extrapolated to formulate a global framework? In answering this question this book offers the first systematic conceptual framework for global environmental constitutionalism in the era of the Anthrocopene.
