Description

This book explores the legal transformations and tensions emerging in the context of the ecological transition. It examines how various legal regimes are already adapting to the challenges posed by the ecological crisis and where legal systems are under increasing pressure to change.

Through a series of thematic chapters, the book identifies and analyses internal legal, political, ideological, and regulatory tensions that characterize the process of adaptation. These include conflicts between legality and environmental protection, the limits of legal frameworks in addressing transnational green capital flows, and the challenges of reconciling legal certainty with ecological imperatives.

This volume maps the paths that law is already taking--sometimes deliberately, sometimes reactively--within the transition. Particular attention is given to how legal structures are shaped by competing visions of justice, growth, and sustainability, as well as the potential for legal thought to evolve in alignment with ecological principles.
