Abstract
Chapter 6 discusses the origins and implications of the European Landscape Convention (ELC), the first international instrument solely dedicated to the protection, management and planning of landscape, adopted by the Council of Europe in 2000. It assesses the radical definition and concept of landscape espoused by the ELC as well as its institutional framework, before moving on to problematizing the ELC from a legal perspective. It argues that despite the Convention’s lack of legal bite, it has nevertheless been paradigm-changing for its societal influence and impact on landscape discourse more broadly. The chapter concludes by offering some observations on current proposals for a global landscape convention inspired by the ELC.
