Weaving a Web of Environmental Law (original) (raw)

Conceptual Developments in Environmental Law: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies (ISSN: 2581-6268 Journal), núm. 23 (2), pp. 37-47, 2021

This paper's point of view is that environmental law translates this particular evolutionary point in time into principles and rules, and highlights that given the extent and significance of the grave issues we are confronting, concepts that come from other sciences need to be dealt with carefully to ensure these are interpreted and implemented effectively. The grave concern about conservation of the environment and the urgent need for effective measures to protect it is a sign of the times, and it is growing deeper in view of the rapidly worsening climate crisis. Environmental law studies demonstrate that there is a line of force based on fluid, fruitful dialogue between different fields of knowledge. Lawyers are aware of the achievements made in environmental law, as well as its manifest deficiencies and limitations, and, just like Theseus who momentarily loses the golden thread offered by the bold Ariadne, they must find a way out of that labyrinth.

This chapter will explore and evaluate the general principles and sources of international environmental law and discuss their status and role in the global context. International environmental law is a highly fragmented area and determining the meaning and status of general principles is thus a complex task. Many revolve around the core issue of sustainable development, which is a diffi cult and contested concept itself. Principles that will be discussed include the notion of sustainable development, the precautionary principle, common but differentiated responsibility, inter-and intragenerational equity and the polluter pays principle.
