This book examines how the principle of ecological integrity in international law and governance can help address our current global crises.

The principle of ecological integrity points to the basic foundations that must exist for life – all life – not only to exist but also to flourish. Ecological integrity, or well-being, cuts across legal and geopolitical spheres, insofar as it is the decisions within our systems of governance that determine the integrity of our various living systems. This book provides a comprehensive examination of how the principle of ecological integrity can help us respond to our current crises of global conflict and insecurity. Including chapters by both academics and practitioners and by both experienced and emerging authors, the book covers a range of contemporary issues – the climate crisis, war, the pandemic, food, and more – at the intersection of peace, public health, and global security.

It will appeal to scholars across a range of fields, including law, sociology, political science, environmental studies, and public health.
