The second edition of this source book brings together a comprehensive selection of the main international, European and national sources of environmental law, as well as detailed commentaries and references to secondary sources (including relevant websites). The new edition has been completely revised and expanded to include the most important developments in this developing area of law. This unique work will be an extremely valuable resource for anyone studying, teaching and working in the field of environmental law. Access to Environmental Justice: A Sourcebook on Environmental Rights and Legal Remedies is a recognition of the urgency of environmental justice as a common concern, the fundamental nature of environmental rights, and the need for environmental remedies. It describes the pioneering efforts of the Supreme Court and the judiciary as a whole to translate our Constitution`s vision for a balanced and healthy ecology into concrete programs. As comprehensive as it is detailed, this source book presents the remarkable set of environmental laws and principles that enshrine the rights of this generation and their descendants to a more livable and sustainable corner of the earth. It also provides the remedial measures available to ordinary Filipinos who seek compensation for actual damage resulting from an environmental hazard, as well as immediate recourse to those who want to prevent an environmental disaster for any type of life. For a country endowed by nature with every gift imaginable, this source book is just a small sign of our gratitude. Nevertheless, we are constantly aware that every little effort counts to fill the cup of environmental justice.
The proposed Sixth Environmental Action Programme will also be considered. National coverage includes consideration of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999, the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, the implementation of the contaminated land regime and the coverage of the UK`s new waste strategy. The book now also includes a comprehensive review of the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on environmental law. Recent case law is included everywhere. In particular at the international level, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the 1998 Aarhus Convention, the 1999 Basel Protocol and the 2000 Biosafety Protocol are now being taken into account. At European level, the changes introduced by the Treaty of Amsterdam are reported; the 2000 Water Framework Directive; the new air quality directives; and the European Commission`s White Paper on Environmental Liability.
