‘I do not know of any journal in existence that fuses these issues. . . Literature on this issue
is growing by the day and scholars frequently have to revert to less issue-specific journals to
publish these findings. The journal. . . will provide an ideal opportunity to disseminate research findings.’
| – Louis Kotze, North West University, South Africa |
‘Environmental and human rights issues are two of the most pressing concerns of the 21st
century, and so, therefore, is the way in which these issues interact. This journal will be a timely and vital addition to the international legal literature.’
| – Sarah Joseph, Castan Centre for Human Rights Law, Monash University, Australia |
‘We have waited a long time for a journal like this. These two essential areas of concern, human rights and the environment, urgently need bringing together in this way. Only when the interface between them is fully acknowledged and clarified can we address the grave issues currently facing the world – from climate change to the impacts of globalisation.’
| – Laura Westra, University of Windsor, Canada |
The relationship between human rights and the environment is a fascinating, uneasy, and
increasingly urgent one. This new international journal provides a strategic academic forum in which an extended interdisciplinary and multilayered conversation can take place concerning the challenges located at the interface of these two centrally important fields.
The quality of the editorial board, which is made up of leading scholars with outstanding
international reputations, ensures that this journal will make a unique contribution to an
informed understanding of the relationship between human rights and the environment.
