This book takes a creative approach to policymaking, urging citizens to engage fully with democratic governance to create more effective environmental protection programs. The technical and economic feasibility of transforming our practices to develop more sustainable and nurturing societies encourages us to jointly envision a better future.
Environmental law can be made preventive and efficient, and it can enlist willing compliance before using the punishing hand, creating a constructive relationship between the governing and the governed. The “adversarial” relationship for which environmental regulation is famous is appropriate for those unwilling to comply, but not appropriate for the many well-meaning regulated entities.

This book explains how these, and other principles of reformed environmental law have been demonstrated successfully but the lessons of success have not been learned. The approach of the book is to collate examples of environmental governance, policy-making and ethics and demonstrate paths towards a more progressive environmental and climate agenda.

Rick Reibstein teaches environmental law at Boston University, and has taught at Clark, Northeastern, Suffolk, and MIT. Reibstein has published many articles on environmental law and policy.
