Description
Environmental Courts and Tribunals in Asia-Pacific (Brill, 2024) is an in-depth treatment of environmental courts and tribunals (ECTs) in the Asia-Pacific region. ECTs play an important role in improving environmental dispute resolution, access to justice and environmental governance, but data and academic analysis on ECTs are very limited. This book fills that gap, with ten chapters authored by leading academics, judges and lawyers from multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore and Sri Lanka, as well as pan-Asia-Pacific and global perspectives.
The web-launch is open to the public, and many of the chapter authors will be sharing their analysis and insights. Participants will have the opportunity to hear from leading experts on ECTs, and pose questions on their area of expertise. It will thus be a learning and networking opportunity for anyone who is involved with ECTs, or interested in best practices, challenges, shared experiences and features of ECTs in the Asia-Pacific.
