Sustainable Development and International Law by Winfried Lang Pdf
The results of the Rio Summit of 1992 brought a major conceptual breakthrough: environmental protection as a field of international co-operation expanded into "sustainable development" through the involvement of developing countries. This evolution has a major impact on international law as one of the prime means of co-operation between states. Scholars and practitioners are reviewing the directions into which the emerging order is moving: a stronger role for equity and justice, for compliance-control, for dispute-avoidance and capacity-building. Rule-making will only be successful if it includes all interested parties, and if it takes account of other important concerns such as international trade. This volume contains the revised and edited papers presented at a symposium held in Baden bei Wien in April 1994. The Austrian Government convened this meeting of prominent scholars and practitioners to contribute to the work of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development.
Land Use Law for Sustainable Development by Nathalie J. Chalifour,Patricia Kameri-Mbote,Lin Heng Lye,John R. Nolon Pdf
This 2007 book surveys the global experience to date in implementing land-use policies that move us further along the sustainable development continuum. The international community has long recognized the need to ensure ongoing and future development is conducted sustainably. While high-level commitments towards sustainable development such as those included in the Rio and Johannesburg Declarations are politically important, they are irrelevant if they are not translated into reality on the ground. This book includes chapters that discuss the challenges of implementing sustainable land-use policies in different regions of the world, revealing problems that are common to all jurisdictions and highlighting others that are unique to particular regions. It also includes chapters documenting new approaches to sustainable land use, such as reforms to property rights regimes and environmental laws. Other chapters offer comparisons of approaches in different jurisdictions that can present insights which might not be apparent from a single-jurisdiction analysis.

This book is a comprehensive review of U.S. efforts to achieve such development since Rio. The U.S. has unquestionably begun to take steps toward sustainable development. Yet the nation is now far from being a sustainable society, and in many respects is farther away than it was in 1992. Nevertheless, legal and policy tools are available to put the U.S. on a direct path to sustainability. This book brings together 42 distinguished experts from a variety of backgrounds and academic disciplines. It is among the most thorough assessments ever conducted of U.S. law and policy concerning the environment.
