Ecological Governance explores how the law should respond to this rapid global deterioration of ecosystems by examining the foundational scientific and ethical considerations for designing laws that are effective for ecological protection. Based on these analyses, it argues that developed states should prioritise the reduction of the ecological stresses for which they are responsible in decision-making on their future courses. The author also proposes structures for governance and associated legal frameworks that would enable the formulation and implementation of policies for ecological sustainability.  aEnvironmental management  aEnvironmental law--Social aspects  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2021-04-13eOverseas Press India Private Limitedg2062.81i2021-03-08l0o344.046 WOO-Ep51502r2021-04-13 00:00:00v2905.38w2021-04-13yBK
