This book presents an overview of the field of environmental law and policies within the European Union and externally, from theoretical foundations to major issues and applied governance solutions.
Drawing on expertise from renowned academics and practitioners from different disciplines, EU Environmental Governance: Current and Future Challenges helps readers to understand the main legal, political and economic issues of environmental protection since the adoption of the Paris Agreement by the European Union in 2015. This new edition presents both current insights and future challenges as they seem to be emerging in the new geopolitical era in the EU after major events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion in Ukraine. The authors examine a broad range of sensitive and topical environmental challenges including climate change, air and environmental pollution, waste management, biodiversity protection, environmental and human health, marine biodiversity, renewable energy, nuclear energy and sustainable Arctic governance. Overall, this volume exposes the reader to a vast array of empirical case studies, which will bolster their training and help tackle the environmental challenges faced by Europe today.
This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and policymakers across a broad range of fields, including environmental law and policies, environmental economics, climate science and environmental sociology.
"This second edition of EU Environmental Governance keeps the best insights of the first edition while insisting on crucial questions about the growing challenges faced by the European Union: can the EU remain a “laboratory” for environmental politics and deal with the environment as a “human right” whereas the Green Deal seems weakened? Can it reconcile its trade and environmental policies? Is the EU Arctic policy effective? How to integrate youth in environmental policy? A must-read collective book for all students and scholars interested in environmental governance and EU studies".
– Franck Petiteville, Professor of Political Science, University of Grenoble Alps, France
“The second edition of this interdisciplinary book offers a timely and insightful reconsideration of the EU governance system and its capacity to tackle the major environmental challenges arising from the “triple planetary crisis” at both regional and global levels. The expert input provided in this book by both academics and practitioners will meaningfully contribute to developing much-needed informed policies and to specialized teaching and research activities. It represents an indispensable source of knowledge for anybody interested in environmental matters (researchers, students, NGOs, law and policy-makers, professionals, etc.) and a valuable addition to university libraries all over the world.”
– Stefania Negri, Associate Professor of International Law, University of Salerno, Italy
