International environmental law has come of age, yet the global environment continues to deteriorate. The challenge of the twenty-first century is to reverse this process by ensuring that governments comply fully with their obligations, and progressively assume stricter duties to preserve the environment. This book is the first comprehensive examination of international environmental litigation. Analysing the spectrum of adjudicative bodies that are engaged in the resolution of environmental disputes, it offers a reappraisal of their relevance in contemporary contexts. The book critiques the contribution that arbitral awards and judicial decisions have made to the development of environmental law, and considers the looming challenges for international litigation. With its unique combination of scholarly analysis and practical discussion, this work is especially relevant to an era in which environmental matters are increasingly being brought before international jurisdictions, and will be of great interest to students and scholars engaged with this vital field.

'… likely to appeal to any academic interested in questions of international governance, and particularly to those with an interest in the international environmental aspects of governance. It should, however, also appeal to those with more traditional interests in the development of jurisprudence in and by different courts and tribunals … This book performs a very significant function in that it ably maps the current role of courts and tribunals in international environmental protection.' Elizabeth Kirk, Journal of Human Rights and the Environment
