Book Description
This book focuses on how public and private international law address civil liability for transboundary pollution. In public international law, civil liability treaties promote the implementation of minimum procedural standards in domestic tort law. This approach implicitly relies on private international law to facilitate civil litigation against transboundary polluters. Yet this connection remains poorly understood. Filling the gap, this book engages in a meaningful dialogue between the two areas and explores how domestic private international law can reflect the policies developed in international environmental law. It begins with an investigation of civil liability in international environmental law. It then identifies preferable rules of civil jurisdiction, foreign judgments and choice of law for environmental damage, using Canadian private international law as a case study and making extensive references to European law. Liability for transboundary pollution is a contentious issue of the law, both in scholarship and practice: international lawyers both private and public as well as environmental lawyers will welcome this important work.

Book Description
This book examines the greening of civil codes from a comparative perspective. It takes into account the increasing requirements of supranational rules, which favour measures to reduce global warming and its negative environmental impacts; it discusses the necessity to expand distributive justice given the current ecological emergency; and it reflects on which private law legal tools potentially may be employed to defend nature’s interests. The work fills a gap in the growing literature on developing rights of nature and ecosystem in transnational law. While the focus is on the environmental issues pertaining to the new civil codes and new projects of civil codes, the book promotes interdisciplinary research applicable to a range of environmental and natural resources–focused courses across the social sciences, especially those related to comparative law systems, legal anthropology, legal traditions in the world, political science and international relations.
Book Description
Selon les experts de l'ONU, nous nous dirigeons vers un réchauffement climatique d'au moins 3 voire 4 °C avant la fin du siècle. Le droit se découvre déjà derrière le combat mené. On connaît l'importance du droit international public, moins celui du droit interne, qui par l'action de l'Etat prévoit des législations s'inscrivant dans la lutte contre le changement climatique. La régulation climatique foisonne et peine à se comprendre. Elle invite le juriste à lire le droit et le faire connaître, tant à la clé, c'est l'efficacité qui est en jeu. Lire, comprendre et mettre en évidence la manière dont le droit appréhende, peut appréhender et pourrait appréhender le réchauffement climatique, c'est fournir à ses éventuels "utilisateurs" les armes dont ils peuvent disposer. Le droit se plaît aussi à la créativité, il bouge, il se transforme. Au soutien des forces sociales et scientifiques, les juristes dans leur ensemble ont leur rôle à jouer, qu'ils soient créateurs ou contrôleurs du droit, qu'ils le revendiquent ou l'appliquent. "Lisibilité" et "créativité" pour que le droit participe, à sa hauteur, à la lutte contre le changement climatique : voici les deux mots qui ont guidé les auteurs du projet.
