Miljörätt
- Häftad, Svenska, 2025Den svenska miljörätten introducerar läsaren i miljörätten som juridiskt ämne. Bland författningarna analyseras miljöbalken särskilt ingående. Plan- och bygglagen och skogsvårdslagen är exempel på annan mark- och miljölagstiftning som behandlas. Den svenska lagstiftningen sätts in i ett internationellrättsligt sammanhang, främst EU-miljörätten. I boken ges exempel på hur regler används i olika situationer och flera rättsfall från svenska domstolar, däribland många från Mark- och miljööverdomstolen, och från EU-domstolen behandlas. En central fråga i boken är om lagstiftningen är ändamålsenlig från miljösynpunkt.

Hur skulle det se ut om naturen hade egna rättigheter? Om berg, hav, floder och skogar betraktades som rättssubjekt och skyddades av lagar, på liknande sätt som människan?
Naturlagen tar ett helt nytt grepp om klimatkrisen, miljöfrågan och vår planet. I boken argumenterar författarna Henrik Hallgren och Pella Thiel för varför naturen borde ha juridiska rättigheter, och visar hur denna idé vinner alltmer utrymme samtidigt som den radikalt utmanar etablerade föreställningar om hur världen ser ut, vilka vi människor är och vad utveckling innebär. Författarna tydliggör hur västerländsk rättsfilosofi genom århundraden betraktat naturen som en motståndare snarare än en medspelare, och hur våra lagar och domstolar skulle kunna arbeta för en rättvisare och mer hållbar värld om vi i stället betraktade planeten som en helhet.
Naturlagen behandlar den stundande ekologiska krisen som en existentiell kris som ger oss möjlighet att skapa en ny vision för mänsklighetens och civilisationens utveckling. Henrik Hallgren och Pella Thiel beskriver ett paradigmskifte, där naturens rättigheter fungerar som en bro mellan det samhällssystem vi har idag och en helt ny världsbild.

Vad ska en miljökonsekvensbeskrivning (MKB) innehålla? Varför behövs det alternativ i en miljöbedömning? Den här boken ger dig en introduktion till vad miljöbedömning är. Den beskriver hur de olika stegen i miljöbedömningsprocessen går till och vad en miljökonsekvensbeskrivning ska innehålla. Eftersom miljöbedömningen är en lagstadgad process som krävs i komplexa planerings- och prövningssituationer finns många hänvisningar till lagar i texten. Boken ger också en orientering i hur miljöbedömningar kan integreras i demokratiska processer och hur den ger en grund för att fatta informerade beslut.Boken är avsedd som kurslitteratur vid högskolans kurser i ämnet, men vänder sig även till yrkesverksamma som en introduktion och vägledning till miljöbedömning.

Miljöskadestånd och grannansvar är en utvidgad upplaga av författarens tidigare framställning Skadestånd för miljöskada. Boken behandlar skadeståndsansvar för miljöskador och vissa andra skador i en verksamhets omgivning, där rättsläget har visat sig förvånande oklart. Rättsområdet kan sägas ligga mellan skadeståndsrätten och miljörätten, vilket sannolikt har bidragit till att det ofta kommit i skymundan i den rättsvetenskapliga debatten, särskilt på senare år.
Denna framställning rör framförallt de delvis svårtolkade skadeståndsreglerna i 32 kap. miljöbalkens samt de kompletterande reglerna, det s.k. grannansvaret, i 3 kap. 1 § jordabalken.
Boken är närmast avsedd för praktiker men kan vara av intresse även för andra som vill fördjupa sig i ämnet.

”Den miljörättsliga utmaningen, i ljuset av målet om hållbar utveckling, består inte bara i att förbjuda alla skadliga verksamheter. Det handlar också om att utforma rättsprinciper och processer som på ett tillfredsställande och långsiktigt och rättvist sätt skyddar människan och miljön – de socialekologiska systemen – och främjar ett hållbart nyttjande av naturresurser även i de fall verksamheter, anläggningar eller kemiska produkter inte förbjuds. Det finns emellertid flera exempel där den avsedda miljöskyddsnivån inte uppnås, där skyddet för mänsklig hälsa och miljön inte får tillräckligt genomslag i förhållande till andra samhällsintressen – och där den rättsliga strukturen är en del av problemet.” Boken är en introduktion till miljörätten, det rättsområde som rör skyddet av den yttre miljön och hälsoskydd samt nyttjandet av naturresurser. Detta innefattar bland annat rättsregler och rättsprocesser om förorening av mark och vatten, förutsättningarna för industriell verksamhet och utvinning av naturresurser, klimatomställning, skydd av känsliga naturmiljöer och biologisk mångfald, kemikaliekontroll och avfallshantering. Boken beskriver miljörättens gränsöverskridande sammanhang och olika miljörättsliga begrepp, metoder, principer och förfaranden. Dessutom uppmärksammas förhållandet mellan miljöskydd och mänskliga rättigheter. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

The 2018 Nobel laureate for economics analyzes the politics and economics of the central environmental issue of today and points the way to real solutions “A one-stop source on global warming, seen through the prism of a brilliant economist.”—Fred Andrews, New York Times Selected as one of the year’s best books by the Financial Times Climate change is profoundly altering our world in ways that pose major risks to human societies and natural systems. We have entered the Climate Casino and are rolling the global-warming dice, warns economist William Nordhaus. But there is still time to turn around and walk back out of the casino, and in this essential book the author explains how. Bringing together all the important issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes the science, economics, and politics involved—and the steps necessary to reduce the perils of global warming. Using language accessible to any concerned citizen and taking care to present different points of view fairly, he discusses the problem from start to finish: from the beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy use, to the end, where societies employ regulations or taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases responsible for climate change. Nordhaus offers a new analysis of why earlier policies, such as the Kyoto Protocol, failed to slow carbon dioxide emissions, how new approaches can succeed, and which policy tools will most effectively reduce emissions. In short, he clarifies a defining problem of our times and lays out the next critical steps for slowing the trajectory of global warming. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

What kind of trouble lies ahead? How can we successfully transition towards a sustainable future? Drawing on a remarkably broad range of insights from complex systems and the functioning of the brain to the history of civilizations and the workings of modern societies, the distinguished scientist Marten Scheffer addresses these key questions of our times. He looks to the past to show how societies have tipped out of trouble before, the mechanisms that drive social transformations and the invisible hands holding us back. He traces how long-standing practices such as the slave trade and foot-binding were suddenly abandoned and how entire civilizations have collapsed to make way for something new. Could we be heading for a similarly dramatic change? Marten Scheffer argues that a dark future is plausible but not yet inevitable and he provides us instead with a hopeful roadmap to steer ourselves away from collapse-and toward renewal. - Häftad, Svenska, 2021

Miljöbalken har nu varit i kraft i drygt 20 år och är en samlad miljölagstiftning som är sektorsövergripande. Ambitionen med miljöbalken är att utifrån en modern syn på ekologisk hållbarhet åstadkomma en sektorsövergripande miljölagstiftning som kan fungera som ett praktiskt verktyg för att styra användningen av vårt gemensamma arv.. Sverige och svensk miljölagstiftning ingår också i ett europeiskt sammanhang med ständigt växande EU-lagstiftning, inte minst på miljöns område. Det förhållandet påverkar också den svenska miljörättens innehåll. De avsnitt i miljöbalken som har större allmänt intresse ges en mer ingående redovisning. I denna nya upplaga beskrivs också utvecklingen under senare år med utbyggd lagstiftning om miljökvalitetsnormer för vatten, ny kemikalie- och avfallslagstiftning, skärpta strandskyddsregler, en utbyggd miljöstraff samt en ny ordning för vattenrätten. Särskild uppmärksamhet ägnar boken åt den omfattande praxis som nu växt fram med en radnya domstolsavgöranden som skapat bredd i avgörandena och som har anpassats till EU-domstolens domar. Också Högsta domstolens nyare praxis med att i större utsträckning använda regeringsformen som grund för sitt dömande i ersättningsfrågor kommenteras. Boken vänder sig till dem som i sitt arbete kommer i kontakt med miljöfrågor och behöver känna till regelverket, till studerande, till andra som är intresserade av miljörätt och till alla dem som söker praktiskt vägledning i miljörättsliga frågor.

Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked reveals a critical oversight in global climate action: the failure to integrate property law into climate policy and regulatory frameworks.Through systematic analysis of mitigation and adaptation strategies, Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked demonstrates how the neglect of property law fundamentals undermines the effectiveness of climate responses, with particular focus on Australia and New Zealand. The book offers both diagnosis and direction, examining why current approaches fall short and identifying how property law integration could strengthen climate responses. From land use planning to coastal adaptation and carbon sequestration, the authors demonstrate that property law must be integrated within climate change policy. By mapping these crucial connections, this book provides a roadmap for developing regulatory frameworks that work with, rather than against, existing property systems.This book will appeal to researchers in the fields of property law, environmental law and governance, and comparative law. It will also be of interest to policymakers, lawmakers, urban planners, and legal practitioners. - Häftad, Svenska, 2021

Environmental law is the law concerned with environmental problems. It is a vast area of law that operates from the local to the global, involving a range of different legal and regulatory techniques. In theory, environmental protection is a no brainer. Few people would actively argue for pollution or environmental destruction. Ensuring a clean environment is ethically desirable, and also sensible from a purely self-interested perspective. Yet, in practice, environmental law is a messy and complex business fraught with conflict. Whilst environmental law is often characterized in overly simplistic terms, with a law being seen as be a magic wand that solves an environmental problem, the reality is that creating and maintaining a body of laws to address and avoid problems is not easy, and involves legislators, courts, regulators and communities. This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the main features of environmental law, and discusses how environmental law deals with multiple interests, socio-political conflicts, and the limits of knowledge about the environment. Showing how interdependent societies across the world have developed robust and legitimate bodies of law to address environmental problems, Elizabeth Fisher discusses some of the major issues involved in environmental law's: nation statehood, power, the reframing role of law, the need to ensure real environmental improvements, and environmental justice. As Fisher explains, environmental law is, and will always be, necessary but inherently controversial.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

This Element tells the twenty-year socio-legal story of human rights-based climate change litigation. Based on an original database of the totality of rights-based climate change (RCC) lawsuits around the world as well as interviews with leading actors and participant observation in the field, the Element explains the rise and global diffusion of RCC litigation. It combines insights from global governance, international law, climate policy, human rights, and legal mobilization theory in order to offer a socio-legal account of the actors, strategies, and norms that have emerged at the intersection of human rights and climate governance. By proposing a broad understanding of the impacts of legal mobilization that includes direct and indirect, material and symbolic effects, it documents the contributions and shortcomings of human rights litigation in addressing the climate emergency. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core. - E-bokEngelska, 2010

Katrina''s arrival on the Gulf Coast was a long time in coming. But it was assured. Since 1965, when Hurricane Betsy struck New Orleans, breached a levee, and flooded part of the city, everyone was waiting and talking about when the Big One would strike and do even more damage. Katrina was that hurricane, predictedand imagined before she struck, but so much worse in her reality.Holding Back the Sea is about the consequences of ignoring the warning signs that nature provides and the struggle to convince the rest of the country that South Louisiana lay in the path of destruction. The signs were not subtle; there were Hurricanes Andrew in 1992, George and Mitch in 1998, and Ivan in 2004, among others. At one time or another in their journeys north, they all threatened New Orleans. Some had headed right for the city before veering to the east and west, sparing the Big Easy and reinforcing the nickname. But the Big Easy ended -- at least in reputation -- on August 29, 2005, when the Big One came ashore as Katrina. - E-bokPDF, Engelska, 1999

Much applied environmental economics is concerned with the valuation of changes in environmental quality. Obtaining reliable valuation estimates requires attention to theoretical and econometric issues that are often quite subtle. Volume 2 of the Handbook of Environmental Economics presents both the theory and the practice of environmental valuation. It synthesizes the vast literature that has accumulated since the publication of the Handbook of Natural Resource and Energy Economics two decades ago. It includes chapters on individual valuation methods written by researchers responsible for fundamental advances in those methods. It also includes cross-cutting chapters that deal with aspects of welfare theory, uncertainty, experimental methods, and public health that are pertinent to valuation. Throughout the volume, attention is paid to research and policy issues that arise not only in high-income countries, where most of the theory and econometrics that underlie applied valuation methods have been developed, but also in poorer parts of the world. The volume provides a state-of-the-art reference for scholars and practitioners alike. - E-bokEngelska, 2011

This is one of the most comprehensive books on complex subjects of environmental engineering assessment and planning. Addressing these issues requires an understanding of technical, economic, and policy perspectives; based upon extensive research and practical experience of the authors, these perspectives are thoughtfully and clearly presented.Covered in this book are subjects related to environmental engineering and planning which include environmental laws and regulations, international perspectives on environmental analysis engineering and planning, economic and social impact analysis, public participation, and energy and environmental implications of major public works and private projects. Contemporary issues ranging from climate change to ecorisk and sustainability are covered in a special section as well.Under Contemporary Challenges are environmental issues that have received considerable public support and concern; they include: climate change, acid rain, deforestation, endangered species, biodiversity, ecorisk, cultural resources, and sustainability. For most of these issues, there are scientific agreements and disagreements; there are many uncertainties, thus views differ widely. These topics are discussed in considerable detail. Notwithstanding uncertainties and differing views on such topics, all of this information is put in a policy context such that progress towards addressing these contemporary challenges can be made while consensus on the nature and extent of the problem and resultant solutions are being developed.The book provides considerable information about many timeless issues. These issues range from resources needed for sustaining the quality of life on the planet: air resources to natural resources. Specifically covered are: air, water, land, ecology, sound/noise, human aspects, economics, and resources. For each of these areas, some of the key elements are described so that one can effectively manage complex environmental engineering and planning requirements. Each of the elements are clearly defined and other information, such as how human activities affect the element, source of affects, variable to be measured, how such variables can be measured, data sources, and evaluation and interpretation of data, etc. are provided. Material presented provides a rich source of information so the reader can efficiently and effectively use it to make meaningful environmental engineering, planning, and management decisions.- Help with every aspect of analyzing the environmental implications of a project- Complete coverage of current approaches, practices, procedures, documentations, regulations, and issues related to environmental engineering and planning- Step-by-step directions for preparing environmental impact analysis, and environmental reports- Valuable expert advice on international perspectives, public participation, social and environmental impacts- A comprehensive write-up on contemporary issues ranging from climate change to sustainability- A comprehensive description and analysis of timeless issues ranging from air resources to natural resources - E-bokEngelska, 2011

The Clean Air Act of 1970 set out for the United States a basic, yet ambitious, objective to reduce pollution to levels that protect health and welfare. The Act set out state and federal regulations to limit emissions and the Environmental Protection Agency was established to help enforce the regulations. The Act has since had several amendments, notably in 1977 and 1990, and has successfully helped to increase air quality. This book reviews the history of the Clean Air Act of 1970 including the political, business, and scientific elements that went into establishing the Act, emphasizing the importance that scientific evidence played in shaping policy. The analysis then extends to examine the effects of the Act over the past forty years including the Environmental Protection Agency''s evolving role and the role of states and industry in shaping and implementing policy. Finally, the book offers best practices to guide allocation of respective government and industry roles to guide sustainable development.The history and analysis of the Clean Air Act presented in this book illustrates the centrality of scientific analysis and technological capacity in driving environmental policy development. It would be useful for policy makers, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in gaining a clearer understand of the interaction of science and policy.- Offers an overview of the 1970 Clean Air Act and its subsequent effects- Highlights the relationship between policy and scientific discovery- Extracts lessons from the United States to apply to other policy and national contexts - Häftad, Engelska, 2012
