Lela Mélon’s edited collection brings a fresh perspective to the intricate relationship between corporations and sustainability. The book focuses on the role of state actors in boosting environmental protection and the increasing importance of state awareness on environmental crises. Whether it is procurement, or education or corporate governance, we are witnessing a proactive stance of the state that is balancing economic growth with ecological concerns. The difficulties faced in forcing a particular conduct in the private sphere is reviewed in detail in the book, along with national laws and regulations that, rather than promoting environmental protection, have had the opposite …

Environmental Law In The United States, Howard J. Bromberg, Joshua I. Barrett
Environmental Law In The United States, Howard J. Bromberg, Joshua I. Barrett
Book Chapters
Environmental law in the United States comprises a complex patchwork of federal, state, and local statutes and regulations, along with the traditions of common law. Most statutory environmental programs emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. In the 1960s, writings such as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962) fueled environmental awareness in the United States; the first Earth Day, celebrated on April 22, 1970, symbolized the birth of vironmental law entered a new era in 1970, when President Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act and the 1970 Clean …

Business, Steven R. Ratner
Business, Steven R. Ratner
Book Chapters
This chapter seeks to expose some of the divergences between doctrine and reality, and to suggest ways of understanding the field that take proper account of business. It does so first by examining the roles and goals of business entities with respect to international environmental law. It then examines how international law has accommodated the place of business in environmental policy with respect to two key issues: (1) corporations as the target of legal obligations; and (2) corporations as participants in the process of international environmental law, particularly with respect to law-making and implementation. I conclude with some thoughts regarding …
Duties Of Preservation, Donald H. Regan
Duties Of Preservation, Donald H. Regan
Book Chapters
The central philosophical problem concerning our duties with regard to nature is this: We are strongly inclined to think we have certain duties which are not fully accounted for by instrumental arguments. We are also strongly inclined to hold a view about value that seems to make it impossible to account for these duties by any noninstrumental arguments. Hence our perplexity. It seems that we have duties to respect living creatures; to avoid causing the extinction of species; even to preserve complex parts of the environment s uch as a tropical rain forest or the Grand Canyon. If we ask …
Environmental Regulation And The Constitution, James E. Krier
Environmental Regulation And The Constitution, James E. Krier
Book Chapters
Indirectly, at least, the Constitution provides the federal government with power to regulate on behalf of environ-mental quality, but it also sets limits on the power. It sets limits, likewise, on the regulatory power of the states. What it does not do, at present, is grant the ‘‘constitutional right to a clean environment’’ so avidly sought in the hey-day of environmental concern, the decade of the 1970s. Thus, the one unique aspect of the general topic consid-ered here has no doctrinal standing; the remaining aspects are matters of doctrine, but they are not unique to envi-ronmental regulation. It is quite …
The Constitutional Framework Of Environmental Law, Philip Soper
The Constitutional Framework Of Environmental Law, Philip Soper
Book Chapters
For federal and state legislators .seeking legal solutions to environmental problems, "constitutional law" is a part of "environmental law" only in the indirect sense of providing the basic legal framework with which substantive environmental standards-like all legislative standards-must ultimately comport. When Congress, for example, enacts legislation to control pollution or to protect endangered species, the constitutional issue theoretically presented is whether such legislation exceeds limits placed by the Framers on federal legislative authority. These limits may result either from the lack of federal power to deal with the problem or from conflict between a federal regulatory scheme and the constitutional …
