Overview

This book explores African domestic and regional responses and approaches to environmental protection and sustainability. Written by African experts, the collection consists of five parts covering the whole of Africa. It provides broad coverage of specific themes, including environmental constitutionalism, climate change, gender and the environment, wildlife trade, environmental justice, and human displacement. The key aims are first, to explore theoretical and empirical studies to interrogate and provide clarity on academic discourse on how and whether environmental human rights approaches and policy implications have effectively enhanced environmental protection and sustainability at African domestic levels. Second, to investigate and present innovative solutions on how African domestic legal regimes deal with environmental justice, natural resources governance, refugees’ environmental rights, and climate-induced displaced persons. Finally, to propose innovative legal and institutionalised solutions to Africa’s ecological realities by determining the legal and regulatory gaps on environmental human rights issues on the continent. The collection will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics, and policymakers in human rights law, environmental law, political science, ecology and conservation, environmental management, disaster management, and development studies.

This book is the most comprehensive piece of environmental legal scholarship in Africa. It extensively analyses several environmental protection and sustainability themes across the entire African continent from the perspective of law and policy. The book is a useful resource for researchers, practitioners, and students. Oliver Fuo, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, North-West University If you care intensely about holistic conservation and environmental sustainability issues, you would be well advised to earmark this compilation for your essential reading list. It skilfully advances the African environmental ideology as well as developing its conservation crime-related diaspora in a down-to-earth manner, which will captivate and empower both seasoned environmentalists and emerging conservationists alike. Prof. Friedo JW Herbig, University of South Africa
