More DescriptionThe growing awareness of an impending environmental crisis coupled with a series of national and regional environmental disasters led, in the 1960s and 1970s, to the birth of the global environmental movement and the widespread recognition of the need to protect the environment for both current and future generations.

In the decades that followed, this concept has come to encompass many different variations of legal rights, which this book seeks to investigate and assess.
