Colleagues-

I am pleased to announce publication of a new volume edited by Erin Daly and 
Jim May, Implementing Environmental 
Constitutionalism<https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/implementing-environmental-constitutionalism/BABAA1DC62FA0D222DB015D9E9EB8381>
  (Cambridge University Press). Below you will find a description of the book 
along with the table of contents.


Description

Constitutions can play a central role in responding to environmental 
challenges, such as pollution, biodiversity loss, lack of drinking water, and 
climate change. The vast majority of people on earth live under constitutional 
systems that protect the environment or recognize environmental rights. Such 
environmental constitutionalism, however, falls short without effective 
implementation by policymakers, advocates and jurists. Implementing 
Environmental Constitutionalism: Current Global Challenges explains and 
explores this 'implementation gap'. This collection is both broad and deep. 
While some of the essays analyze crosscutting themes, such as climate change 
and the need for rule of law that affect the implementation of environmental 
constitutionalism throughout the world, others delve deeply into geographically 
contextual experiences for lessons about how constitutional environmental law 
might be more effectively implemented. This volume informs global conversations 
about whether and how environmental constitutionalism can be made more 
effective to protect the natural environment.
