"Covering a wide range of topics in a clear and accessible writing style, Environmental Law introduces students to all of the key areas of environmental law, drawing on legislation policy, and practice." "The sixth edition of Environmental Law has been totally restructured and revised in order to incorporate all the latest developments in law. It includes updated coverage of all aspects of environmental law, thus reflecting changes to legislation and case law that have occurred since the previous edition, including the law relating to climate change, the Aarhus convention, and human rights law. Reference is made throughout to the influence of European and international organisations and legislation. Subjects are fully cross-referenced, allowing readers to follow key ideas through the book and to understand the interaction of law and the environment."--BOOK JACKET.
