Description
This book collects land use laws from countries on each continent that attempt to achieve sustainable development.
Due to the startling evidence of global deterioriation and the long-term trends in land use, the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development was signed in 2002.
In the laws collected in this volume, the reader can witness the evolution of national legal systems as they respond to the challenge of sustainable development.
This volume illuminates the great flexibility and power of the law as a vehicle for change.
Laws contained in this compendium are mechanisms competent to address society's problems; they provide strategies that are appropriate to the culture and place of their origin.
The book provides evidence that laws and law reform are being used to create strategies that address a worldwide priority: the clear need to effectively use and preserve the land and its natural resources.
