Confronting Ecological and Economic Collapse

Ecological Integrity for Law, Policy and Human Rights

Herausgeber: Westra, Laura; Michelot, Agnès; Taylor, Prue

Beschreibung

From the first appearance of the term in law in the Clean Water Act of 1972 (US), ecological integrity has been debated by a wide range of researchers whose joint interest was the study and understanding of ecological/biological integrity from various standpoints and disciplines. This volume discusses the need for ecological integrity as a major guiding principle in a variety of policy areas, to counter the present ecological and economic crises with their multiple effects on human rights.
