Download or read book The Habitats Directive written by Gregory Jones KC and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity within the European Union is under threat. Almost a quarter of Europe's vascular plant species and 155 species of its native mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are threatened with extinction. The Habitats Directive imposes a strict regime for environmental protection. But with the euro zone economy falling from 'stagnation' to 'contraction' in the second quarter of 2012 and the UK entering into a 'double dip' recession in April 2012, European governments face an economic crisis. The English courts have said that the Directive should not become a property developer's obstacle course. Yet the tensions between environmental protection and economic growth are all too readily apparent with the UK government stating both that we must 'arrest the decline in habitats and species and the degradation of landscapes' and later that 'gold plating of EU rules on things like habitats' was putting 'ridiculous costs' on business enterprise. Edited by Gregory Jones QC, The Habitats Directive: A Developer's Obstacle Course? brings together a unique combination of leading academics and practitioners in the field of European environmental and planning law to address and debate controversial issues arising from the Habitats Directive in an authoritative and practical manner. A must for anyone engaged in property development, planning and environmental law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immerse yourself in the history of the Council of Europe, from its creation in 1949 to the challenges it has to address today. This comprehensive book traces the development of this pioneering and emblematic organisation and invites you to discover the key moments and challenges it has faced. In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Council of Europe was established in Strasbourg with the objective of promoting and safeguarding human rights, democracy and the rule of law throughout Europe. It has created a common democratic and legal area by drawing up more than 200 conventions covering all aspects of daily life. At its heart is also the European Court of Human Rights, guardian of fundamental freedoms and a flagship institution whose judgments are binding on the member states. Find out more about the Court’s landmark decisions, major reforms and how it has responded to changes in society. The Council of Europe has forged close ties with the European Union, working in tandem on many projects to strengthen justice, safety and human rights. This work analyses the complementary and competitive nature of this strategic partnership and the expectations around it. Throughout the history of the Council of Europe, there have been many great achievements but also crises and controversies. This book provides a detailed analysis of the turbulent times the Organisation has faced, from integrating new members to dealing with internal challenges, political pressures and external conflicts, and delves into the strategies it has adopted to address them. History of the Council of Europe, 75 years of European co-operation is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the development of this key European institution, its achievements, trials and tribulations, and the impact it has had on Europe and its people.

Download or read book The Aarhus Convention written by Duncan Weaver and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aarhus Convention on access to information, public participation in decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters has been celebrated as a pioneering international environmental agreement. Given that a quarter-century has passed since Aarhus was opened for signature, now is an opportune moment to revisit it from a fresh perspective. Marking this anniversary, this book explores Aarhus from the vista of the English School of International Relations, an ethically-minded perspective used to gauge the prevalence of state-oriented and human-oriented progress from the Convention's rationales and realities. It firstly considers Aarhus' propagation, investigating the legal, diplomatic and geopolitical contexts enabling its emergence. It secondly investigates Aarhus' germination, with reference to its trinity of procedural rights. Thirdly, the book examines the Convention's growth, in terms of the development of its organisational infrastructure. The chief finding is that Aarhus demonstrates, in environmental contexts, the feasibility and benefit of fostering 'humankind' solidarist progress, rooted in moral cosmopolitanism, within the existing power arrangements of a sovereignty-based pluralism. Pluralist concerns for diversity and international order are found to be a precondition for more ethically ambitious solidarist endeavours. These observations reinforce the logic of solidarisation, an English School innovation that presents sovereignty as (a) being ethically matured by solidarism whilst (b) delimiting solidarism within the threshold of states' tolerance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is 'sustainable development' a charade sold to an increasingly misled public? This book presents a wide-ranging, penetrating critique of sustainability and what it actually means. The author argues that despite the rhetoric of socially and environmentally sustainable development and the ever-increasing number of legislative environmental policies, the real issues such as consumption, population growth and equity are either sidestepped or manipulated in international policy and law. Analyzing the main areas of concern - economic growth, market structure, trade, aid, debt, security and sovereignty - he shows that the entire development structure and the underpinnings of the debate are leading down quite a different path to that intended by sustainability.

Download or read book Environmental Health for All written by David J. Briggs and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurate assessment of environmental hazards and related risks is a primary prerequisite for effective environmental health protection, at both the individual and collective level. National and regional policies on environmental health need to be guided by knowledge about the risks to the populations involved; as the Environmental Action Plan for Europe notes, 'priority setting requires the comparative assessment of risks to health of different environmental factors against the cost of controlling them.' In recent years this has assumed particular importance, for with the encouragement of the World Health Organisation (WHO), all countries in Europe are committed to producing National Environmental Health Action Plans (NEHAPs), which will define priorities and targets for environmental health and the actions needed to achieve them. Reliable information on risks is clearly fundamantal to this process. Individual risk assessment is no less important in this context. Much of the responsibility and capacity to improve public health lies ultimately in the choices (e.g. about diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, sexual activities, sporting activities, travel mode, place of residence and occupation) which we make as individuals. If we are to improve and protect our own health, therefore, and in so doing play our personal role in achieving the targets set by these Plans, we need to be guided by a clear understanding of the risks involved.
