Eradicating Ecocide 2nd Edition: Laws and Governance to Stop the Destruction of the Planet - Paperback
by Polly Higgins (Author)
A call to action to protect our planet through law. In Eradicating Ecocide, Polly Higgins demonstrates how corporations and governments are destroying our planet, enabled by inadequate laws. This book offers a radical yet pragmatic solution: making ecocide an international crime.
Higgins examines laws that work and those that don't, providing examples from history and across nations. She reveals what is required to prevent escalating destruction and offers a comprehensive overview of the legal steps needed to protect the environment.
Polly Higgins is a barrister and international environmental lawyer who demystifies our environmental crises from a legal perspective. Advocating a crime of ecocide - 'extensive damage, destruction to or loss of ecosystems' - has one basic, overriding tenet, first do no harm. The Ecologist Magazine voted her one of the 'Worlds Top 10 Visionary Thinkers', and she was nominated 'The Lawyer for Planet Earth' by the 2010 Performance Awards.
