More and more environmental cases are being heard and decided by international courts and tribunals which lack special environmental competence. This situation raises fundamental questions of legitimacy of the environmental practice of international courts. This book addresses inter alia questions of who has legal standing to bring an environmental claim before an international court, on which legal norms is the case decided and whether judges have the necessary expertise to adjudicate environmental cases of often complex nature. It analyses which challenges international courts face, which possibilities they have and which advances international judicial practice has been able to make in protecting the environment. Through the prism of legitimacy important insights emerge as to whether international courts and tribunals are fit for addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of our time.

  • Analyses and compares the judicial practice of environmental cases brought to different international adjudicative bodies which lack specialisation in environmental law
  • Focusses on the issue of legitimacy and whether international courts and tribunals are fit for addressing some of the most pressing global challenges of our time
  • Examines recent environmental cases decided by international courts and looks at judicial practice in terms of trends, challenges, possibilities and outcomes
