Professor Klaus Bosselmann has been awarded the first annual scholarship Award as Best Researcher in the category of Environmental Law Academic with more than 10 years experience from the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law. 'This book is a powerful statement of the need to replace environmental governance with governance for social and ecological sustainability. Sceptical of the capacity of governments to turn sustainability into a principle of international law without a push, the author argues that ecological citizens in civil society are the most likely sources of real change.' Andrew Dobson, Keele University, UK 'Klaus Bosselmann's book is deeply thought-provoking and should be read by all scholars and students of environmental law, as the debate on sustainability and its governance is definitely not over. His book makes a valuable contribution to some of the most urgent issues facing humankind, and offers a fresh perspective to the prevailing, often tired debates about sustainable development.' Human Rights and the Environment '...this book repays close reading, and re-reading, offering as it does both source of inspiration and valued resource for both research and teaching.'
