Environmental law has the potential to be both preventive and efficient, fostering willing compliance before resorting to punitive measures. By creating a constructive relationship between the governing and the governed, environmental law can promote sustainable practices and protect the environment. However, the traditional "adversarial" relationship associated with environmental regulation is often inappropriate for those who are willing to comply but may face challenges due to various factors. This book aims to demonstrate how environmental governance, policy-making, and ethics can be reformed to achieve a more progressive environmental and climate agenda. It provides examples of successful environmental governance and policy-making practices and highlights the need for a more collaborative and inclusive approach to environmental protection. By adopting these principles, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for ourselves and future generations.
