This incisive book presents a gendered perspective on chronic environmental emergencies including climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and environmental degradation. Derived from the innovative concept of slow violence, the phenomenon of chronic environmental emergencies considers situational vulnerabilities and the disproportionate impact of these events on women.





Providing an ecofeminist assessment of chronic emergencies, as well as their effects on actors, legal obligations, and possible remedies, the book examines the interplay between feminism, the environment, and international law. Chapters conceptualize environmental chronic emergencies, analysing their impact across time and in various contexts spanning slow-onset events, responsibility and liability, and due diligence obligations. The global contributor team uses gendered and post-colonial approaches to advance the legal debate beyond disasters to more subtle forms of oppression, particularly towards indigenous women and female health. Ultimately, the book looks ahead at new interdisciplinary avenues of research which address the gradual deterioration of ecosystems and its effect on insidious forms of oppression through deep-rooted structural inequalities.





Shedding light on the social and legal elements of climate degradation, this book is a fundamental resource for scholars and students of environmental law, humanitarian law, and public international law. International lawyers and advocates for human rights will also benefit from the book's theoretical and methodological insights.

Arvustused

This unique, precious and beautiful blue-green planet is under assault by a global economy built on the exploitation of Nature and people, especially people of color, Indigenous peoples, women and girls and those who are part of more than one of these communities. We are all part of an insidious global experiment, undertaken without consent, in which our bodies are exposed to a toxic stew of chemicals and microplastics. This is but one of a host of chronic environmental emergencies described in this timely and erudite book. The contributors provocatively challenge existing paradigms of environmental law and human rights law, arguing convincingly that chronic environmental emergencies must be unmasked, analyzed through an intersectional lens, and ultimately addressed through a combination of remediation, reparation, and prevention. -- David R. Boyd, Former UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment
