The Regulatory Landscape of Ship Recycling
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License. It is free to read, download and share on Elgaronline.com. In this authoritative book, Ioanna Hadjiyianni and Kleoniki Pouikli incisively map out the regulatory landscape of ship recycling, exploring the main international and European regulatory approaches that govern its environmental impacts. In light of the transnational demands of environmental justice, they critically assess the interaction between multiple regimes from the perspective of key environmental principles and the EU’s attempts to steer regulatory developments in this field.
Sustainability in Public Procurement, Corporate Law and Higher Education
Contemporary changes in law and policy at the global level to efficiently answer to environmental and social issues correspond to the traditional approach of limiting the regulatory and policy changes to a singular field or discipline: tackling the inherent unsustainability of corporate laws or incentivising the offering of sustainable finance to stimulate the transition towards sustainable practices. This book provides a new viewpoint and approach of simultaneously regulating seemingly non-connected fields in order to provide a fertile ground for a truly organic change towards sustainable outcomes. It addresses diverse questions of sustainable transition of the three specific fields to supp...
Research Handbook on the Law of the Paris Agreement

The Future of Legal Europe: Will We Trust in It?
With this Liber Amicorum, around 50 contributors from the legal and judicial professions, from academia and from politics pay tribute to Dr Wolfgang Heusel, the Director of the Academy of European Law (ERA) in Trier from 2000 to 2020. The contributions provide a thorough analysis of some of the most relevant legal and political challenges faced by the European Union, including in the fields of data protection rules, artificial intelligence, the rule of law, human rights protection, institutional reform of the EU and changes in the legal and judicial professions. The book is primarily aimed at postgraduate students, legal practitioners and scholars interested in EU legal matters.
Interstitial Law-Making in Public International Law: A Study of Environmental Impact Assessments
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements are quasi-universal. Praised as the core of the international legal response to ensure environmental protection, this procedure is an information tool for better public decision-making, which can contribute to empowering individuals and civic groups. Based on the historical background of the relevant norms and on case studies, Interstitial Law-Making in International Law: A Study of Environmental Impact Assessments verifies whether the role of procedure in secreting substantive law may be fulfilled in the distinctive legal system of public international law, while appraising how EIA requirements have been conceived and implemented as regards encouraging all international actors to behave in an environmentally conscious way, in a world of heterogeneous political regimes. This book is based on the author’s award winning doctoral dissertation which received the Yale Law School’s Ambrose Gherini Prize for best paper in the field of international law (2018).
Making Climate Tech Work
Climate tech is critical for averting planetary chaos. Half the greenhouse gas reductions required to reach “net-zero” climate targets in 2050 will need to come from technologies that have not yet been invented. Without effective government interventions, market incentives alone will not produce a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy. The commercial value of innovative climate technology, especially in its early phases, remains underpriced—far below its social value. The good news is that smart policies can change these dynamics and catalyze the necessary creativity and investment in clean technology, and its deployment. The key question is: which approaches can lead us to future c...

The New Law
Das neue Recht hilft bei der Lösung von Problemen, mit denen sich internationale Organisationen, Staaten, Bevölkerungen und Durchschnittsbürger jeden Tag auseinandersetzen müssen. Die Autoren lösen dabei wichtige internationale, lokale oder nationale Probleme auf innovative und neuartige Weise, indem sie rechtliche Konzepte entwickeln, die auf staatlicher, regionaler und kontinentaler Ebene anwendbar sind. Zusätzlich zu Lösungen für spezifische Probleme beinhalten einige Beiträge eine theoretische Diskussion von Reformen und Verbesserungen allgemeiner Natur. Die von den Autoren dargestellt Vorschläge kombinieren das Wissen und die Erfahrung von Juristen und Praktikern mit der Kreativität von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern, um über die traditionellen Rechtsmodelle hinaus zu denken und bedeutende innovative Ideen einzuführen, die das bestehende Rechtssystem voranbringen.
RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL AMBIENTAL/ECOLÓGICA
Entre um e outro destes nossos “encontros” académicos, existiu uma intensa atividade de pesquisa e de lecionação de Direito do Ambiente, na PUCRS, e uma “paixão muito especial” pela matéria da responsabilidade civil ambiental, que a então candidata há muito vinha investigando. E foi precisamente sobre o tema da responsabilidade civil ambiental, que a Profª. Márcia Bühring elaborou a sua excelente tese de Pós-Doutoramento (que está na base deste livro agora apresentado), a qual obteve a classificação máxima, entre nós, depois de discutida em provas públicas, por um júri que integrou a Profª. Alexandra Aragão, da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra, que se encarregou de fazer a arguição, do Prof. Nuno Cunha Rodrigues e de mim próprio (pela Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisboa).
