Zusammenfassung

Law | Environment | Africa ist ein Tagungsband des 5. Symposiums und der 4. wissenschaftlichen Konferenz der Vereinigung afrikanischer Umweltrechtslehrer (ASSELLAU) in Kooperation mit dem Klima- und Energiesicherheitsprogramm für Subsahara-Afrika der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) und dem Umweltprogramm der Vereinten Nationen (UNEP). Ziel des Buches ist es, jüngere Entwicklungen im Zusammenhang von Recht und Umwelt in Afrika zu untersuchen, zu besprechen und zu analysieren. Die Sammlung umfasst 32 Kapitel von Rechtsexperten aus Mittel-, Ost-, Süd- und Westafrika. Die Publikation ist thematisch in vier Teile unterteilt:

1.) Klimawandel und Energie

2.) Natürliche Ressourcen-Governance

3.) Wasser-Governance, -Management und -Nutzung

4.) Regulierung von sozialen und ökologischen Auswirkungen im Zusammenhang mit menschlichen Aktivitäten

Diese Themen werden im nationalen, regionalen und internationalen Rechtsrahmen diskutiert. Afrikas Streben nach nachhaltiger Entwicklung steht dabei – im Hinblick auf die wertvolle und zugleich fragile ökologische Infrastruktur – im Fokus der Beiträge.

Abstract

Law | Environment | Africa compiles the proceedings of the 5th Symposium and the 4th Scientific Conference of the Association of Environmental Law Lecturers from African Universities (ASSELLAU) in cooperation with the Climate Policy and Energy Security Programme for Sub-Saharan Africa run by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The book’s aim is to explore, review and analyse recent developments at the point where the law and the environment in Africa overlap. The collection comprises 32 chapters by legal experts from central, eastern, southern and western Africa. It is divided thematically into four parts:

1.) Climate change and energy

2.) Natural resource governance

3.) Water governance, management and use

4.) The role of the law in regulating social and environmental impacts associated with human activity

These subjects are discussed in the context of national, regional and international law frameworks, which are central to Africa’s quest to attain its desired and sustainable development trajectory within the confines of the continent’s valuable yet fragile ecological infrastructure.
