Abstract

The basic scope and characteristics of environmental law is a foundation for this book. Environmental law can take different forms and be seen as an area of law that touches upon many other fields of law with the primary aim of protecting the environment, animals, and human health. Over time environmental law have developed its own legal techniques, norms, approaches, and principles to match the dynamic and holistic perspectives of the ecosystems. The purpose of the book is to identify how law can be designed to match and contribute to social-ecological resilience. The aim is to present a new framework for creating and assessing environmental law in relation to resilience theories; however, the components will be based in current environmental laws (i.e., the specific characteristics of environmental law). This chapter aims to explain some of the fundaments of environmental law and review the characteristics that will form important components.
