Abstract

" Responsible" Use of the Earth suppose a paradigm shift : this includes a range of legal instruments, including the use of public trusteeship and, in a more innovative move, the attribution of legal personhood to natural entities and earth’s common goods. It requires reactivation of traditions of duty in law, and stronger provisions for public good interests. This paper discusses some legal innovations from the Pacific region, in particular those arising from litigation in the fields of protection and restoration of waterways.
