In Defence of Environmental Target Laws
This article argues that an emerging body of ‘target laws’ – legislation that incorporates binding, quantified environmental targets with specified deadlines – represents a crucial evolution in environmental governance. Whereas traditional environmental risk regulation was valuable for managing discrete environmental impacts, it has proven inadequate to address systemic challenges like climate breakdown and ecosystem collapse. Target laws, by con…
Governing Intersystemic Systemic Risks
This article argues that contemporary regulation of climate change risks and zoonotic disease risks – two seminal risks of our era – is deficient because it fails to account for the most distinctive characteristics of their risk profiles. These risks are part of a special category of intersystemic systemic risks, which are ‘compound’ in nature: they possess the potential to cascade across different systems and entail a liability to exponential gr…
Energy Transition in a Transnational World
At the dawn of 2021 people worldwide looked for signs of hope: signs that the pandemic was waning; signs that politicians were prepared to act decisively on climate change; signs that pervasive patterns of social, political, and economic inequality could be exposed and dislodged. The New Year rang in optimism. Vaccines for COVID-19 began to roll out. 1 President Joseph Biden assumed the United States (US) presidency, displacing Donald Trump and t…
Broadening the Branches and Deepening the Roots of Transnational Environmental Law
The year 2020 has been one of extraordinary tumult and change. At the beginning of the year, few could have predicted how the COVID-19 pandemic would so radically pervade every aspect of human lives and livelihoods, with profound implications for how people live, love, move, work, and connect in our societies. 1 The pandemic has also vividly illustrated our global interconnectedness, as well as the ways in which an initially localized problem can…
Environmental Law as a Transnational Ecosystem
This editorial marks the tenth anniversary of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) and the culmination of my time as one of its founding Editors-in-Chief. I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on key developments in environmental law, on the impressive expansion
Ten Years On
This issue brings to a close the first full decade of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL). It is sobering to consider the shape of the world in 2011 and to remember our ignorance of the events to come. The global stage is always a roiling mix of disparate forces, but between the ascendance of the populist right, COVID-19, Brexit, the rise and decline (and rise?) of ISIS, and the ongoing escalation of climate-related emergencies, it seems that T…
Transnational Environmental Law in a Transformed Environment - Erratum
Indigenous Rights Amidst Global Turmoil
From the introduction: The year 2020 cannot end quickly enough. We enter the final quarter of a year in which cataclysmic fires erupted across Australia and the United States (US) west coast, devastating floods swept across Sudan, a pandemic ravages the lives of millions while bringing the global economy to a virtual standstill, and acts of profound injustice have acted as a startling reminder of the systemic racism that pervades American society…
The End of a Decade and the Dawn of a Climate Resistance
Introduction to the article: As this editorial is being written, the decade is drawing to an end. Or, perhaps more aptly, the decade is roiling to an end. Hong Kong and Chile are rocked by protests. Australia and the Amazon are burning. The President of the United States has been impeached. The United Kingdom is tearing away from the European Union (EU). India is debating its identity. Egypt and Ethiopia are locked in protracted negotiations over…
Transnational Environmental Law in a Transformed Environment
In our previous editorial we commented on the tumultuous end of a decade and the environmental, social, and legal challenges that await. 1 During the first four months of 2020 a global pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which can lead to the potentially deadly 'coronavirus disease 2019' (COVID-19), stormed onto this already daunting list of challenges. The urgency and all-encompassing nature of the effects of the pandemic has led …
Transnational Environmental Law and 'Other' Environmental Laws
As this editorial is being written, the news of the day is filled with discussion of an unfolding environmental crisis: massive forest fires burning in the Amazon rainforest, potentially crossing a crucial 'tipping point' for the ecosystem, 1 and endangering global climate change mitigation efforts. 2 In August 2019, more than 27,400 fires were detected in the Amazon, burning on a scale not seen since 2010. 3 The deforestation that fuels the fire…

Protecting the Tangible and Intangible Values of Transnational Environmental Spaces
Environmental policy and law walk a tightrope between preserving present and future environmental resources while allowing for their exploitation in the interest of socio-economic development. This raises fundamental and complex questions regarding the weight to be given to current and future economic gain, environmental protection, and the interests of different peoples affected by this interplay. At the transnational level, these challenges are…
New Challenges for Transnational Environmental Law
This seventh volume of Transnational Environmental Law arrives at a most unusual moment for environmental initiatives worldwide. On the one hand, popular support for environmental care seems strong and stable: substantial constituencies and forceful interest groups have lined up behind efforts to combat the causes and effects of climate change, and many among the world's political, social, and commercial leaders stand firmly, if not altogether en…
Transnational Climate Law
Climate change has been a prime arena for the development of transnational environmental law. Because climate change involves global systems with complex local linkages, the governance regime mixes the local and the global. National governments have taken action unilaterally and have been joined by non-state actors, which include subnational governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). 1 Subnational governments have also …
Transnational Environmental Law in an Era of Radical Rethinking and Widespread Law Reform
Certain periods in environmental law are characterized by the frenzied development of new norms and legal tools. The development of early domestic and international environmental law in the 1970s, the burst of activity surrounding the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, 1 the unveiling of the United States (US) Clean Power Plan in 2015, 2 and even the rapid negotiation and coming into force of the Paris Agreement 3 exemplify these moments of high-profile d…
The Maturing of Transnational Environmental Law
Just over five years ago, the first issue of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) was published. At the time, a sense of cautious optimism imbued environmental law and policymaking efforts. There was hope for a new and improved climate change regime; hope for renewed United States (US) leadership on all matters environmental; hope for strong European Union (EU) leadership on multilateral environmental issues, such as climate change and chemical …

The Transnationalization of Law
This article argues that the rise of transnational regulation has a transformative impact on law. It examines the field of transnational environmental regulation to show that its proliferation challenges the continued appropriateness of representations of law as (i) territorial, (ii) emanating from the state, (iii) composed of a public and private sphere, (iv) constitutive and regulatory in function, and (v) cohesive and regimented. Instead, law …
Transnational Environmental Law on the Threshold of the Trump Era
Since its inception Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) has focused on the complex web of interactions across national borders in addressing environmental issues, including but going beyond the traditional domain of international environmental law. The content of TEL has been diverse but has encompassed several pervasive themes: mutual influence between legal systems, multilevel integration, regime fragmentation and overlap, and the erosion of …

The Emergence of New Rights and New Modes of Adjudication in Transnational Environmental Law
The year 2015 ended on a euphoric note for many in the environmental law community. The climate negotiations in Paris (France) in late November and December, proceeding in the face of tragic terrorist attacks in that city only weeks before, yielded an historic agreement that may well serve as the international baseline for decades to come. 1 We suspect that some will regard the 21 st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP-21) to the United…
By All Available Means
With international negotiations under way to promulgate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a post-2020 climate change agreement anticipated by the end of this year, 2015 promises to be a milestone for environmental governance. The process to develop the SDGs
The Challenge of Keeping Environmental Law Dynamic
Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) emerged at a critical juncture in the evolution of systems of environmental law. At the time of TEL's first issue, in April 2012, the global community was in the throes of assessing the viability and future of the international climate change regime as the first compliance phase of the Kyoto Protocol 1 drew to a close. At around the same time, an international negotiating committee was preparing to meet in or…
Contesting Assumptions and Unmasking Myths
One of the driving aspirations of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) is to serve as a platform for challenging the status quo. From its inception, TEL has embraced original scholarship that asks provocative questions and challenges long-standing assumptions, that combines methodological rigour with an openness to new and interdisciplinary approaches, and that seeks to extend the debate beyond mainstream topics and inquiries. The contributors t…
Introducing Transnational Environmental Law
the field 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times'
Levelling Down, Levelling Up, and Governing Across
This article investigates developed countries’ financial and technical assistance commitments under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. It shows that their organization is secured through the establishment of a hybrid implementation network, involving the cooperation of state and transnational actors, and argues that institutional hybridization affects the quality and status of treaty norms. The norms defy a classification …
Governing Climate Change
This article argues that the ascent of climate change on the EU regulatory agenda signals a new era of risk regulation and calls for the establishment of a new paradigm for risk regulation. Climate change is altering the EU 's conception of environmental risks and its design of regulatory responses. In contrast to conventional risk regulation, climate change regulation must prioritise the risks of business‐as‐usual over the risks of change, must …

Globalizing Regulation
This article argues that although globalization can benefit both exporters and importers of regulation in absolute terms, it may turn the globalization of regulation into a game with relative winners and losers. Using the EU REACH Regulation of chemicals as a case study, it explores the normative, social, economic, and strategic reasons that push the EU to promote the global adoption of REACH. Notwithstanding its attractions, rules globalization …

Transnational Dimensions of Climate Governance
Climate Change as an Arena of Transnational Environmental Law it is fitting that the second issue of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) focuses on governance and climate change. Transnational environmental law views governance as an outgrowth of local, regional and transboundary communications and pressures. The challenges of transnational governance – and its necessity – are especially clear in the context of climate change. On the one hand, …

True to its mission, the second issue in volume two of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) delves into the many and varied ways in which environmental governance is evolving beyond the state. The articles in this issue explore topics as diverse as: accountability in interpreting European Union (EU) framework norms; the role of third party actors in combatting transnational environmental crime; the rationales for socially responsible investing; …
