Book Description
Le droit des risques naturels trouve sa source principale dans le code de l'environnement, mais il est aussi disperse au sein de sources constitutionnelles, europeennes et dans d'autres codes en droit interne (code des assurances, code de l'urbanisme, code general des collectivites territoriales, etc.). Premier ouvrage doctrinal sur les risques naturels, ce traite propose une analyse exhaustive du droit applicable, illustree de nombreuses references jurisprudentielles et bibliographiques, en suivant la probabilite de survenance d'une catastrophe naturelle. Il s'articule donc autour de 7 parties: histoire(s), culture(s) et vocabulaire(s) des risques naturels, sources du droit des risques naturels, information, prevention, protection, reparation et responsabilites; il permet ainsi d'identifier le role des differents acteurs et connaitre leurs obligations a travers la politique de prevention et de reparation des risques naturels. Cet ouvrage de reference s'adresse aux elus et fonctionnaires territoriaux qui disposeront de toutes les cles pour mener une politique de prevention efficace, mais aussi aux assureurs, de plus en plus sollicites par les victimes des catastrophes naturelles. Enfin, il interesse les universitaires, magistrats et avocats concernes notamment par les questions de responsabilite.

Management of the Effects of Coastal Storms
Author: Philippe Quevauviller
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1848217625
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
A large part of the world’s coastlines consists of sandy beaches and dunes that may undergo dramatic changes during storms. Extreme storm events in some cases dominate the erosion history of the coastline and may have dramatic impacts on densely populated coastal areas. Policy, research and historical background are essential elements that need to be interconnected for effective coastal planning and management. This book discusses this framework, with Chapter 1 providing an insight into policy settings and science-policy interactions in the area of coastal risks related to storms and flooding, and integrated coastal zone management. This is followed by a review of the current understanding of the processes generating extreme coastal events, the morphological evolution of coastlines during and after the events, and the methods for monitoring the process as it occurs or for post-event appraisal. The final chapter discusses the importance of historical approaches regarding coastal threats, taking the Xynthia storm as an example.

Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events
Author: Isabelle La Jeunesse
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119383544
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
Provides an understanding of the relationship between social-ecological systems and multilevel governance so that readers can properly deal with hydrometeorological extreme events and hazards Based on field investigations from EU research projects, this book is the first to devote itself to scientific and policy-related knowledge concerning climate change-induced extreme events. It depicts national and international strategies, as well as tools used to improve multilevel governance for the management of hydrometeorological risks. It also demonstrates how these strategies play out over different scales of the decision-making processes. Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events: A Governance Issue offers comprehensive coverage of such events as floods, droughts, coastal storms, and wind storms. It showcases real-life success stories of multilevel governance and highlights the individuals involved and the resources mobilized in the decision-making processes. The book starts by presenting a synthesis of hydrometeorological extreme events and their impacts on society. It then demonstrates how societies are organizing themselves to face these extreme events, focusing on the strategies of integration of risk management in governance and public policy. In addition, it includes the results of several EU-funded projects such as CLIMB, STARFLOOD, and INTERREG IVB project DROP. The first book dedicated to hydrometeorological extreme events governance based on field investigations from EU research projects Offers a “multi-hazards” approach—mixing policy, governance, and field investigations’ main outputs Features the results of EU-funded projects addressing hydrometeorological extreme events Part of the Hydrometeorological Extreme Events series Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events is an ideal book for upper-graduate students, postgraduates, researchers, scientists, and policy-makers working in the field.

Should Trees Have Standing?
Author: Christopher D. Stone
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199774242
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Originally published in 1972, Should Trees Have Standing? was a rallying point for the then burgeoning environmental movement, launching a worldwide debate on the basic nature of legal rights that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Now, in the 35th anniversary edition of this remarkably influential book, Christopher D. Stone updates his original thesis and explores the impact his ideas have had on the courts, the academy, and society as a whole. At the heart of the book is an eminently sensible, legally sound, and compelling argument that the environment should be granted legal rights. For the new edition, Stone explores a variety of recent cases and current events--and related topics such as climate change and protecting the oceans--providing a thoughtful survey of the past and an insightful glimpse at the future of the environmental movement. This enduring work continues to serve as the definitive statement as to why trees, oceans, animals, and the environment as a whole should be bestowed with legal rights, so that the voiceless elements in nature are protected for future generations.

An Introduction to the African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources
Author: World Conservation Union
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 9782831709130
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
The African Convention on the conservation of nature and natural resources was adopted in 1968 in Algiers. Considered the most forward looking regional agreement of the time, it influenced significantly the development of environmental law in Africa. Two and a half decades of intense developments in international environmental law made it necessary to revise this treaty, update its provisions and enlarge its scope. This was undertaken under the auspices of the African Union (previously OAU), and the revision was adopted by its Heads of State and Government in July 2003 in Maputo. The introduction provides an overview of this new international treaty, as well as a commentary to each of its provisions.
