Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Commission on Environment and Development in its 1987 report provided a new analysis of the world's resource and environmental problems that linked two key ideas: economic growth and sustainability. The report did not predict increasing decay, poverty, and environmental degradation. It saw instead the possibility for a new era of economic growth, based on sustainability and environmentalism. That vision is highly attractive politically, even if the contradictions are not fully resolved in the document. Growth in the world's population is a serious problem. It cannot be sustained by the existing environmental resources. In developing the idea of sustainability the Commission asserted that all countries and all types of economies will need to form a consensus on the basic concept of sustainable development, and on a broad strategic framework for achieving it. Remaking the law of any state to conform to the idea of sustainable development is an enormous undertaking. Just what is involved and how difficult it is can be understood from examining the recent New Zealand experience. There may be some lessons in it for others, many of which will not emerge until the new legislation is up and running, but the policy formation in New Zealand was itself fascinating and is worthy of study for its own sake. This paper aims to give an explanation and overview of that legislation and its relationship to the concept of sustainability. The paper tracks the development of New Zealand resource management legislation from the National Development Bill designed to aid the 1970s Think Big projects, to the privatization of the Ministry of Works and Development and the subdividing of that Ministry's functions to the Ministry for the Environment, the project of Resource Management Law Reform, and the Resource Management Act legislation created as an outcome of that project. It discusses some of the more contentious areas of that legislation as well as its purposes and principles, including its commitment to Treaty of Waitangi principles.

It focuses on the realities of implementing the RMA for the planning profession, the community and the political system within which planning must always operate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the introduction of Agenda 21 at Rio in 1991, some countries like the Netherlands and New Zealand were already leading the way with quite innovative approaches to environmental planning. Focusing on the New Zealand government's innovations in sustainable and environmental planning, particularly the Resource Management Act of 1991, this book highlights planning and governance under devolved and co-operative mandates. It uses multiple methods to evaluate the quality of policy statements and district plans prepared by regional and local councils respectively, as well as the various inter- and intra-organizational and institutional factors affecting them. It also analyses the quality of the plans' implementation through the consensus or permits process, and the quality of the environmental outcomes.

Download or read book Sustainability and Law written by Volker Mauerhofer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses sustainability and law in a multifaceted way. Together, sustainability and law are an emerging challenge for research and science. This volume contributes through an interdisciplinary concept to its further exploration. The contributions explore this exciting domain with innovative ideas and replicable approaches. It combines a variety of authors, from both the public and the private sectors, and thereby guarantees a broad view that enshrines the more theoretical arguments from the academic side as well as stronger practical applicable perspectives. The book provides space for thoughtful expansions of established theories as well as the hopeful emergence of innovative ideas. Moreover, the combination of three to five contributions into the eleven parts respectively aims toward a compression of like minded thoughts. This should lead to an intensification of exchange of viewpoints from different angles on a similar theme. Readers therefore also have the opportunity to concentrate on single chapters, but receive comprised knowledge and a variety of thoughts for new ideas on a particular theme.

Experts and scholars in the field raise provocative questions about the effectiveness of international law versus national law in protecting the environment, and about the effect of current laws on future generations. They analyze the successes and shortcomings of present legal instruments, corporate and public policies, social movements, and conceptual strategies, offering readers a preview of the steps necessary to develop laws and policies that will promote genuine sustainability.
