Download or read book Compensation for Environmental Damage Under International Law written by Jason Rudall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by recent litigation, this book identifies and critically appraises the manifold and varied approaches to calculating compensation for damage caused to the environment. It examines a wide range of practice on compensation – in general and specifically for environmental damage – from that of international courts and tribunals, as well as international commissions and regimes, to municipal approaches and other disciplines such as economics and philosophy. Compensation for Environmental Damage Under International Law synthesises these approaches with a view to identifying their blind spots, bringing clarity to an area where there exists broad discrepancy, and charting best practices that appropriately balance the manifold interests at stake. In particular, it is argued that best practice methodologies should ensure compensation serves to fully repair the environment, reflect the emerging ecosystems approach and any implications environmental damage may have for climate change, as well as take into account relevant equitable considerations. This book is essential reading for academics, practitioners and students working in the field of environmental law.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present there is no clear model under international law with which to determine compensation for environmental damage. After showing that no existing standard of compensation defined by the theory and practice of international law is adequate to cover all cases involving environmental damages - and that such a broad standard or set of standards may in fact be ultimately unachievable - the author of this important book develops a 'fair compensation' regime from an analysis of existing international dispute adjudication mechanisms, and presents this model as the best possible current approach to the conciliation of international responsibility and environmental interests.

This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental impacts are increasing due to human activities. The overuse of the benefits nature provides us is the direct result of our failure to put a price on these benefits. One way of addressing this is to require environmental compensation. The purpose of the study is to provide Nordic Council of Ministers and national decision-makers with an overview of key conditions for increased, flexible and cost-effective application of compensation. The study shows that for a relatively small cost society can make a significant investment in the provision of biodiversity and ecosystem services by requiring compensation. The study outlines three main recommendations on how to increase the use of environmental compensation: 1. Stimulate supply of, and demand for, compensation 2. Clarify and supplement guidelines and legal framework 3. Strengthen Nordic cooperation on compensation

This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian Development Bank and the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China (PRC) undertook a study on eco-compensation regulations development in the country, on which this publication is based. The study examined the PRC's theory, practice, and legislation governing eco-compensation in selected ecological areas to map out the scope and content of a national eco-compensation regulation. Pursuit of its higher agenda of ecological civilization and development of its national eco-compensation regulation will require the PRC to capture the diversity that subnational projects have tapped, integrate its experience with eco-compensation at all levels of government into a coherent national regulatory framework, and harmonize this framework with existing laws and other legal instruments.

This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth has multiplied the environmental challenges faced by the People's Republic of China but has also created opportunities, by increasing available funding for environmental management and conservation. At the nexus of these countervailing trends, policy makers have been experimenting with new approaches to environmental management under the broad heading of "eco-compensation". Many of these are market-based, particularly payments for ecosystem services; an emerging policy debate is regarding the extent to which beneficiaries should pay, and the providers should be compensated, for the provision of natural resources and environmental services to promote sustainable, balanced growth. This paper synthesizes the findings of the International Conference on Payments for Ecological Services convened in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in September 2009 to support eco-compensation programs in the country.

Download or read book Harm to the Environment written by Peter Wetterstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In international and comparative environmental law the notion of environmental damage is gaining increasing interest. The question of compensating environmental damage challenges traditional rules and concepts of tort law. This book addresses two key issues: 1) the right to and extent of damages for environmental impairment and 2) the methods for conducting natural resource damage assessments. The strong and diverse contributions to this volume of essays, contributed by an internationallyknown team of experts, underline the view that prevention should be the focus of effort to protect the environment. Such an approach is needed because of the limited possibilities offered by the law for adequate and effective compensation in the case of environmental damage. With limited exceptions most countries have adopted a cautious approach to the issue of compensation but new developments on the civil liability front have approved reasonable restoration costs as a basic measure for recoverable damages. It also appears that the methods for evaluating environmental damage developed so far have been artificial and arbitrary. This and many other issues are discussed in detail and implications and consequences for the future spelled out.
