Conclusion 330 8 $aThis book argues for a reframing of environmental law. It starts from the premise that all environmental issues confront lawmakers as emergencies. Environmental issues pose a fundamental challenge to law because it is impossible to reliably predict which issues contain the possibility of an emergency and what to do in response to such an unforeseen event. These features undermine the conventional understanding of the rule of law. This book argues that approaching environmental issues from the emergency perspective leads us to an understanding of the rule of law that requires public justification. This requirement recentres the debates in environmental law around the question of why governance under the rule of law is something worth having in the environmental context. It elaborates what the rule of law requires of decision-makers in light of our ever-present vulnerability to catastrophic environmental harm. Controversial, compelling and above all timely, this book presents an important new perspective on environmental law 606 $aDisasters$xRisk assessment 606 $aEnvironmental disasters 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental protection 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $2International environmental law 615 0$aDisasters$xRisk assessment. 615 0$aEnvironmental disasters. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 676 $a344.04/6 700 $aStacey$b Jocelyn$01649723 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823714703321 996 $aThe constitution of the environmental emergency$93998626 997 $aUNINA
