Patterns of air pollution enforcement in Canada
Ambient air pollution is one of the leading health and environmental concerns worldwide, including in Canada. To reduce air pollution impacts, governments create and enforce various laws and regulations. Few studies have examined the particulars of enforcement and fewer still in Canada. To this end, we ask: How does enforcement vary across jurisdictions, time, or other factors? What types of violations or offenders appear to be prioritized for en…
Environmental (in)justice in the Anthropocene ocean
Acculturation as an ecosystem service? Urban natural space supports evolving relational values and identity in new female migrants
New migrants display unique use patterns and relationships with their host country's natural spaces. Understanding migrants' values about and interactions with nature requires identifying the meanings, benefits and capabilities that arise from their socio‐ecological interactions. This research seeks to understand how new migrants' engagement with their host country's urban nature affects their lives, behaviours and identities post‐migration. Usin…
A Rights Turn in Biodiversity Litigation
Based on an original database of 49 rights-based biodiversity (RBB) lawsuits filed around the world, this article hypothesizes that rights-based norms and institutions are becoming increasingly important in legal challenges aimed at biodiversity protection. We explain retrospectively the antecedents and characterize early RBB litigation by constructing a typology of cases and legal arguments that litigants and courts have used to establish the co…
Exposure, access, and inequities
Environmental injustices—in the form of inequitable distribution of environmental risks and benefits, uneven access to decision‐making processes, and misrecognition of communities—have been documented globally. However, in Canada, many have argued that the story of environmental injustice is less widely known, with more fragmented research that has produced little in terms of public policies intended to alleviate injustice. This paper uses a meta…
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability
Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of interventions that could ignite the transformations needed to achieve these desired targets and goals. As a component of the IPBES Global Assessment, we conducted an iterative expert deliberation pro…
The Global Emergence of Constitutional Environmental Rights
Over the past five decades, many scholars have debated the normative pros and cons of granting legal recognition to the right to live in a healthy environment, a relative newcomer to the library of human rights. Since 1976, this right has spread rapidly across the world, securing constitutional protection and being incorporated into environmental laws in more than 100 nations, and gaining recognition in regional treaties ratified by at least 135 …
The right to a healthy environment
The Environmental Rights Revolution
David R. Boyd's "The Environmental Rights Revolution: A Global Study of Constitutions, Human Rights, and the Environment" examines the growing trend of enshrining environmental rights within national constitutions. Boyd argues that recognizing the right to a healthy environment is crucial for effective environmental protection and offers a comparative analysis of constitutional provisions from around the world. He explores the practical implicati…
