Sustainable Development Law in the UK

Sustainable development is now widely accepted as a political objective in the UK and elsewhere but to what extent has the UK’s rhetoric on sustainable development become a reality? The aim of this book is to critically examine the UK’s approach to promoting and delivering sustainable development. It begins by providing a detailed account of UK law on sustainable development by reviewing the various policy, institutional and legal mechanisms used by the UK since the 1980s and by devolved administrations since devolution took effect in 1999. Progress has been slow, too slow and, according to the scientists, time is running out. To deal with this lack of progress, the book advocates increasing the status of ecological sustainability and sustainable development through the introduction of a wide range of legal mechanisms which would compel the change needed. The book calls for ecological sustainability, or respecting the Earth’s environmental limits, to be afforded the status of legal principle and argues that with ecological sustainability at its normative core, sustainable development could provide an effective framework for decision making and governance. It argues that to support this approach and ensure consistency, the time has come for sustainable development to receive explicit legal backing. Over and above its symbolic and educational value, legislation can impose mandatory rules on policymakers and decision makers, often with meaningful consequences both inside and outside the courtroom. To this end, the book contributes to the theory on sustainable development governance by suggesting three possible legislative approaches for such intervention. The volume concludes that while a lack of leadership on sustainable development may hinder the introduction of these innovations, once introduced, these innovations would equally provide much needed support for effective leadership towards a sustainable future.

Adopted at birth, Andrea&nbsp;Ross&nbsp;grew up inhabiting two ecosystems: one was her tangible, adoptive family, the other her birth family, whose mysterious landscape was hidden from her.&nbsp;In this coming-of-age memoir, Ross narrates how&nbsp;in&nbsp;her early twenties, while working as a ranger in Grand Canyon National Park, she embarked on a journey to discover where she came from and,&nbsp;ultimately, who she was. After many missteps and&nbsp;dead ends,&nbsp;Ross&nbsp;uncovered her heartbreaking and inspiring origin story&nbsp;and&nbsp;began navigating the complicated turns of reuniting with her birth parents and their new families. Through backcountry travel in the American West, she also came to understand her place in the world, realizing that&nbsp;her&nbsp;true identity&nbsp;lay&nbsp;not&nbsp;in a choice between&nbsp;adopted&nbsp;or&nbsp;biological parents,&nbsp;but in an expansion of the concept of family.
