"In a world besieged by pollution, climate change, and declining biodiversity, it is vital to assess whether human rights can help address these challenges. This comprehensive new book by leading experts Sumudu Atapattu and Andrea Schapper offers a clear and timely assessment." -- David Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Environment & Associate Professor, Law, Policy, and Sustainability, University of British Columbia, Canada

"Environmental degradation and human rights violations are intrinsically intertwined.　 In this textbook, leading experts　Sumudu Atapattu and Andrea Schapper discuss their relationship comprehensively." -- Judge Navanethem Pillay, Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
"This clear, accessible, student-friendly and comprehensive treatment of human rights and the environment is both timely and welcome. The book addresses, with expertise and clarity, the foundational aspects of the field, offering students a solid understanding of its key institutional and conceptual characteristics. The book also introduces students to important critical themes and provides helpful questions for reflection and discussion. This textbook is likely to prove a most valuable resource for anyone teaching or studying the increasingly important nexus between human rights and the environment." -- Anna Grear, Professor of Law and Theory, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University, UK

"Climate change and environmental destruction are the biggest threats to all species living on the globe. Combined they constitute the worst global and intergenerational injustice. This textbook contributes an exceptional insight to what law brings to addressing the injustices as well as the limitations of the legal regime. In a pedagogical and highly sophisticated manner, the authors combine human rights and environmental justice framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This textbook is not only important to stimulate curiosity and critical reflection for students, it will also be highly inspiring reading for all to whom the survival of the earth is a major concern." -- Morten Kjaerum, Director, Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Sweden

"In 2012, the current United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment, David Boyd, suggested we are witnessing an "environmental rights revolution". In their new book, Professors Sumudu Atapattu and Andrea Schapper, both prominent scholars in the areas of environmental justice, sustainable development and environmental law, make a timely and important contribution to this "revolution". They provide: a comprehensive survey that frames the issues surrounding human rights and environmental protection; a historical perspective on the emergence of environmental human rights; the advantages and disadvantages associated with the rights-based approach; and a description of regional developments. The book also usefully focuses on specific human rights that are critical for environmental protection, while it discusses climate change and human rights and emerging, but critically important, issues that remain at the periphery of State concern, such as rights of nature and the extraterritorial application of environmental rights." Louis J. Kotzé, Research Professor, North-West University, South Africa

"Atapattu and Schapper rigorously dissect the recognition of environmental rights across legal systems and jurisdictions. Focusing on the positive force for good of environmental rights as well as the inherent limitations of the environmental rights agenda, this book is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of this emerging legal phenomenon." -- Ole W Pedersen, Reader in Environmental Law, Newcastle Law School, UK

"As the thematic boundaries of the environmental rights landscape continues to expand, the need for a comprehensive exploration of the topic is ever more needed. The authors masterfully situate cutting-edge normative developments within a solid conceptual framework that illuminates the interaction of human rights and the environment." -- Marcos Orellana, Director, Environment and Human Rights Division Human Rights Watch and Adjunct Associate Professor, George Washington University School of Law, USA

"In this book, Atapattu and Schapper provide an insightful, interdisciplinary introduction to this new and growing field. The text provides an excellent blend of theory and practice—engaging students in the conceptual, doctrinal, socio-political and practical challenges of using human rights law for environmental protection and sustainable development. The case study on climate change is an effective approach that focusses the student on the details of the most complex and critical environmental challenge. The relationship between climate change and human rights is important enough to warrant this attention in its own right. The case study also allows students to gain a deeper appreciation of the complexities of a rights-based approach to environmental protection than would a text that surveys all environmental issues." -- David Hunter, Professor of Law, American University Washington College of Law, USA
