‘‘A timely, much-needed, and ambitious volume; one which curates and develops thought-provoking, futures-oriented agendas for the practice and study of environmental law from a wide range of globally leading scholars.’
– Steven Vaughan, University College London, UK
‘A thoughtful and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between scholarship and the practice and experience of law, which will be of interest not only to environmental lawyers but also to anyone exploring how changing realities should impact their scholarly approach and goals.’
– Emma Lees, University of Cambridge, UK
‘An inspiring smorgasbord of essays that exposes the reader to the many flavours of environmental law scholarship.’
– Liz Fisher, University of Oxford, UK
‘Trying to predict the future directions and agendas of a highly volatile and dynamic discipline like environmental law is never easy. A Research Agenda for Environmental Law is, however, an excellent attempt at mapping the cutting-edge interactions of law, social processes, and environmental challenges. Whether these interactions take the form of climate assemblies, forever chemicals, rewilding or the shadows of colonial legacies, the volume offers a clear and enlightening overview.’
