Note publique d'information : For those troubled by environmental harm on a global scale and its deeply unequal
effects, this book explains how international law structures ecological degradation
and environmental injustice while claiming to protect the environment. It identifies
how central legal concepts such as sovereignty, jurisdiction, territory, development,
environment, labour and human rights make inaccurate and unsustainable assumptions
about the natural world and systemically reproduce environmental degradation and injustice.
To avert socioecological crises, we must not only unpack but radically rework our
understandings of nature and its relationship with law. We propose more sustainable
and equitable ways to remake law's relationship with nature by drawing on diverse
disciplines and sociocultural traditions that have been marginalized within international
law. Influenced by Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), postcolonialism
and decoloniality, and inspired by Indigenous knowledges, cosmology, mythology and
storytelling, this book lays the groundwork for an epistemological shift in the way
humans conceptualize the relationship between law and nature
