Forest Governance
This book analyses and develops overarching concepts for forest policy and forest governance and includes a detailed investigation into the historical discussion on forests. It examines opportunities and limits for negative emissions in a sector that – like peatlands – appears significantly less ambivalent compared to highly technical large-scale forms of climate geoengineering. The analysis shows that the binding climate and biodiversity targets under international law are much more ambitious than most people assume. Measured against that, the volume critically reviews the potentials of afforestation and reforestation for climate mitigation, which is often presented as the new saviour t...
Phosphorus in Agriculture: 100 % Zero
The title ‘Phosphorus in Agriculture: 100 % Zero’ is synonymous for make-or-break. And it stands up to the promise. This book sends an important message as it delivers background information, intrinsic hypotheses, validation approaches and legal frameworks, all for balanced phosphorus fertilization in agriculture. This implies firstly that the phosphorus requirement of crop is fully satisfied by applying exclusively fertilizers which contain the nutrient in completely available form. Secondly, environmental demands through eutrophication and hazardous contaminants must not be compromised. The book identifies equally knowledge gaps and deficits in the transformation and implementation of research into practice. Bottom line is that research delivers the tools for a sustainable phosphorus management while legal frameworks are insufficient.
International Yearbook of Soil Law and Policy 2020/2021
This book presents an important discussion on land tenure rights for the effective implementation of sustainable soil management provisions. It investigates a variety of aspects, such as the clash of modern and traditional tenure concepts, forms of illegal or illegitimate land acquisition, and the preconditions for legal and legitimate investments. In addition, the book analyses the challenges to ensuring secure land tenure rights in Africa and in Germany. Lastly, it provides information on the role of women in this context. This fifth volume of the International Yearbook of Soil Law and Policy is divided into four parts, the first of which deals with various aspects of the theme “Land Ten...
Assessment and Governance of Sustainable Soil Management
The role of soils for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is multifarious. Soils are the essential basis for food and biomass provision in support of food security (SDG 2) and energy security (SDG 7). Soil carbon sequestration is paramount for climate action (SDG 13). Soil-mediated water purification and retention, nutrient and matter cycling, and soils habitat functions are essential for maintaining ecosystem services and biodiversity (SDG 15). Healthy soils perform well in all these functions simultaneously. However, the globally increasing demand for food, fiber, and bio-based products poses massive challenges to soil health. Minimizing trade-offs between biomass production and so...
Sustainability
This book proposes a holistic transdisciplinary approach to sustainability as a subject of social sciences. At the same time, this approach shows new ways, as perspectives of philosophy, political science, law, economics, sociology, cultural studies and others are here no longer regarded separately. Instead, integrated perspectives on the key issues are carved out: Perspectives on conditions of transformation to sustainability, on key instruments and the normative questions. This allows for a concise answer to urgent and controversial questions such as the following: Is the EU an environmental pioneer? Is it possible to achieve sustainability by purely technical means? If not: will that mean...

Handbuch des Staatsrechts - Neuausgabe
Mit Prof. Dr. Uwe Kischel, LL.M., Universität Greifswald und Prof. Dr. Hanno Kube, LL.M., Universität Heidelberg, verantworten zwei neue Herausgeber gemeinsam mit einem Autorenteam von über 200 Wissenschaftler*innen aus dem In- und Ausland das Neue Handbuch des Staatsrechts. Diese Neuausgabe ist auf insgesamt 12 Bände angelegt, die ab Herbst 2023 in jährlichem Rhythmus erscheinen werden. Das Werk ist zum einen der Bewahrung und tiefgreifenden Reflektion des Staatsrechts in seinem Bestand als Rückgrat des staatlichen Gemeinwesens verpflichtet. Darüber hinaus vermittelt es auch einen Gesamtblick auf die herausragenden Zukunftsthemen des Staatsrechts. Es begleitet und lenkt den Wandel, i...
Environmental Law and Economics
This anthology discusses important issues surrounding environmental law and economics and provides an in-depth analysis of its use in legislation, regulation and legal adjudication from a neoclassical and behavioural law and economics perspective. Environmental issues raise a vast range of legal questions: to what extent is it justifiable to rely on markets and continued technological innovation, especially as it relates to present exploitation of scarce resources? Or is it necessary for the state to intervene? Regulatory instruments are available to create and maintain a more sustainable society: command and control regulations, restraints, Pigovian taxes, emission certificates, nudging pol...
Il futuro è sottoterra
«Per la prima volta dal Neolitico, abbiamo l'occasione di trasformare non soltanto il nostro sistema alimentare ma il nostro intero rapporto con il mondo vivente.» Per decenni, infatti, abbiamo arato e destinato al pascolo enormi superfici, abbiamo abbattuto foreste, ucciso animali selvatici portandoli all'estinzione, avvelenato fiumi e oceani, e tutto questo per nutrirci. Ormai da anni, però, il sistema alimentare globale mostra gravi segni di cedimento: i fertilizzanti e i fungicidi aumentano la resa in agricoltura, ma favoriscono la diffusione di parassiti nocivi per la salute; circa il 70 per cento dell'acqua prelevata da fiumi, laghi e falde acquifere viene utilizzata dall'irrigazion...
