Global Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene

The first comprehensive treatise of the burgeoning literature on global environmental constitutionalism, this book is incredibly well researched, insightful and inspirational. A landmark publication for years to come. -- Professor Klaus Bosselmann, University of Auckland, New Zealand
This is a book about responsibility in the age of the Anthropocene. It identifies the core issues of the current socio-ecological crisis, points out priorities, and proposes interventions. Kotzé delivers a compelling argument that humanity finds itself in a rare global constitutional moment that requires us to reimagine the law at a planetary scale and to create, enact, and advance global environmental constitutionalism. -- Professor Maria Ivanova, University of Massachusetts, United States
With humanity poised on the precipice of an environmental abyss, we need intellectual visionaries to design and build the bridge to a sustainable future. With Global Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene, Professor Louis Kotzé demonstrates that he not only possesses such vision, but can articulate it in a clear, concise, and compelling fashion. While Kotzé acknowledges the formidable magnitude of the challenges we face, his book identifies prospective solutions and thus offers a much-needed beacon of hope. -- Professor David Boyd, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Global Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene comes none too soon... The book is a thorough and hopeful account of how constitutionalism can quite literally, and perhaps with no time to spare, help to constitutionalize responses to the Anthropocene. -- James R May, Distinguished Professor of Law, Widener University Delaware Law School * Journal of Human Rights and the Environment *
