Mednarodno okoljsko pravo danes spremlja vrsta globalnih izzivov, od ustrezne ravni varstva biotske raznolikosti, gozdov, morskega okolja in vesolja do integracije multilateralnih okoljskih pogodb, oblikovanja ustreznih mehanizmov mednarodnega reševanja sporov in povezav med patentnim pravom, tujimi investicijami ter okoljem. Ta vprašanja in druga, kot so varstvo okolja v mirovnih operacijah, odgovornost transnacionalnih korporacij za varstvo okolja, zelena ekonomija in energijska učinkovitost so kritično obravnavana v knjigi, ki ponuja inovativne odgovore mednarodnih pravnikov in znanstvenikov s področja okolja. Knjiga je edinstven primer interdiciplinarnega odgovora na globalne okoljske izzive človeštva.
International environmental law today faces a broad spectrum of global challenges from
sufficient levels of protection of biodiversity, forests, marine environment and outer
space to integration of mutilateral environmetal agreements, concerns of international
adjudication and the confluence of patent law and foreign investments with
environment. These issues and others, such as the protection of the environment in peace
operations, the responsibility of transnational corporations for environmental protection,
green economy and energy efficieny are critically addressed in this book and innovative
solutions are provided both by international legal experts and environmental scientists.
The book is thus a unique example of an interdisciplinary response to the global
environmental challenges of humankind.
