About the Book

Adopted in the aftermath of the Second World War and implemented as a ‘living instrument’, the European Convention on Human Rights has, over the past 70 years, shown remarkable adaptability to changing circumstances through the evolutive jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. While the Court has already demonstrated its willingness to address new challenges to human rights arising from environmental damage and climate change, growing scientific evidence and mounting public demand for action have accelerated the need for more fundamental engagement. This timely book – also a Special Issue of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment – brings into sharp relief the specific challenges faced by the Court in addressing the human rights impacts of the interlocking environmental and climate crises.



Leading scholars and practitioners, including the President of the European Court of Human Rights, provide important insights into current thinking about environmental human rights in different jurisdictions and ways in which the European Court could adapt its principles and practice in light of the evolving international environmental human rights corpus iuris.



Drawing together theoretical insights and practice-led commentary, the contributions to this important book will be of interest to human rights and environmental law scholars, practitioners, students and policy makers.

Review :
‘This visionary Special Issue articulates the path forward for a rights-based approach to tackling the global environmental crisis. As the clock approaches midnight, this superb volume identifies the transformative changes urgently needed to achieve just and sustainable societies. Essential reading for anyone concerned about human rights and the future of life on Earth.’ ‘This Special Issue of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment entitled Human Rights and the Planet is a very timely adjunct to the UN General Assembly’s recent resolution recognising the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right. The Issue includes the Strasbourg Principles of International Environmental Human Rights Law, which provide a strong foundational reference for legal obligations in this contested area of law. Hopefully these principles will evolve to include the protection of Indigenous and environmental rights defenders and a stronger basis for intergenerational justice.’ ‘This Special Issue of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment constitutes a valuable contribution for experts in environmental law and human rights in their desire to study and to evolve the virtuous circle that constitutes a definitive symbiosis of these two disciplines in the defence of the environment and in response to the need to energetically confront the problem of climate change and environmental degradation.’ ‘Can a universal, recognised and enforceable right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment save the world’s environment and tackle the climate crisis? What can or should the European Court of Human Rights do while awaiting such a global binding legal instrument? These are the main questions addressed from different angles in the contributions to this Special Issue of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment as a follow-up to the conference “Human Rights for the Planet” held in 2020 at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. A must read!’ ‘Climate change and environmental degradation are at present the greatest, most pervasive threats to human rights. This Special Issue provides a nuanced picture of the role of the European Court of Human Rights in addressing these threats, highlighting challenges but also opportunities to ensure that the Court continues to live up to its mandate — and contributes to turning the tide.’
