Land Use and Liability

Environmental regulation is more important now than ever before. "Land Use and Liability" explores a broad range of subjects, each reflecting current concerns about the environment and the regulation of activity affecting it. As environmental problems become more pressing, this collection highlights the need to call those responsible for degradation to account and seeks solutions to the problem of preserving natural resources. Often sidelined political and legal topics such as climate change, energy policy, transport, waste management, preservation of the green belt, contaminated land, habitats, port development, nuclear power, and environmental liability are brought to the forefront in an attempt to mirror the public's growing awareness of these issues as well as the concerns of thriving environmental pressure groups and NGOs. Written with practitioners and academics in mind, "Land Use and Liability" is also relevant to all with an interest in environmental regulation. Adopting an inter-disciplinary approach to environmental law and policy, the essays included examine the issues from social, economic and political perspectives.
