The current model for society’s development, based on the unconscious use of natural resources, points to signs of exhaustion, requiring a reflection in order to formulate strategies that overcome the challenge of coexistence between the relationship between man and nature. The use of tools such as sustainable indicators has been shown to be effective in the identification and understanding of socio-environmental phenomena and in the subsequent decision making by public management, assisting in the resolution of problems, and consequently, acting as a resource for sustainable development. This study aims to propose the development of an urban sustainability indicator for the municipality of Umuarama, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. In order to build the indicator, data from different aspects linked to Sach’s sustainability model are to be collected, and later put into statistical treatment to standardize it and make its comparison possible, resulting in its index, which is expected to analyze the current state of the local sustainability and sustainable development.

This chapter looks at the relationship between the World Trade Organization (WTO) and international trade in terms of international environmental law. Twenty-five years after the WTO system came into operation it appears that neither trade law nor environmental law have trumped each other. Rather, there has been a process of accommodation which is still ongoing. The chapter ends by making some conclusions on the arguments presented in this book and the issues currently being faced. The current policy of encouraging free trade cannot always be made environmentally friendly and this will always be the case. The problem becomes clear if we consider climate change. Free trade and globalisation by nature exacerbates the difficulties of regulating environmental issues. In addition, one of the key problems with sustainable development as a concept is that there has been too much emphasis on development, and not nearly enough on sustainability, then a policy of promoting free trade is part of that problem.

The article analyses the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (ipbes) through the spectrum of international environmental law. It unpacks the epistemic logics within which ipbes operates and emphasises the normative constructions underlying the mechanism, arguing that ipbes is best understood in light of the rationale and principles of the law of sustainable development. On that basis, the article provides an in-depth discussion of ipbes, and in particular of i) its mandate analysed in light of the principles of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, ii) its scope that combines a temporal and spatial perspective to scientific knowledge and iii) its outreach activities seeking to co-operate with a variety of partners, interpreted as an embodiment of the ‘global partnership’ that the Rio Declaration calls for.

Henry David Thoreau is a great American writer of transcendentalism and the pioneer of modern environmentalism. Being an ardent lover of nature, he devoted his entire life to studying the relationship between man and nature, and bequeathed a legacy of works in this field. He believed that nature was the symbol of spirit, and had a far-reaching influence on man and his character, and human beings should live harmoniously with nature for the long sustainable development. In Walden which is his masterpiece He endows the animals with human characteristics. Thereupon, Thoreau often describes the similarities between animals and people he comes across. People can be just as greedy and shallow as the marmot of the prairie, or as naughty and clumsy as red squirrels, or as lazy and cunning as chickadees, or as loyal as gundogs in Thoreau’s writings. Thoreau spent two years living a simple life at Walden on his own. He recounted in details the living habits of these animals, from woodchucks, loons to mice and hawks.

AbstractThis review essay offers a critique of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development through an appraisal of three recent texts. These texts explore issues of sustainability and sustainable development in the context of three different (but interrelated) discourses-practices, namely, (lifelong) learning, (educational) leadership and (environmental) law. The texts reviewed are:Halsey, Mark. (2006). Deleuze and Environmental Damage: Violence of the Text. Aldershot: Ashgate.Hargreaves, Andy, & Fink, Dean. (2006). Sustainable Leadership. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.Scott, William A. H., & Gough, Stephen R. (2004). Sustainable Development and Learning: Framing the Issues. London and New York: RoutledgeFalmer.

The paradigm of sustainable development evolved over many years through attempts to take account of concerns regarding economic development, environmental protection (including human health), and social development (including human rights). Its adoption and core content evidence a profound change in the way society views the relationship between economic activity and the natural environment. Nevertheless, although sustainable development is now viewed by the international community as the overarching framework for improving quality of life throughout the world (and by many as the best approach to maintaining a healthy planet), important disagreements exist about its precise meaning and implications, and resistance to it still surfaces from time to time. This article examines the evolution and content of the concept of ‘sustainable development’, its legal status and function, and its implications for principles and tools of international environmental law. It also discusses international agreements, customary international law, general principles of law recognised by major legal systems, sustainable development in municipal law, precaution and transparency, public participation, access to justice, and environmental impact assessment and accounting techniques.

AbstrakUpaya penegakan hukum yang tegas merupakan salah satu cara untuk menjaga kelestarian lingkungan. Instrumen hukum lingkungan dibuat dan ditegakkan untuk mencegah terjadinya kerusakan lingkungan. Namun pada pelaksanaannya, penegakan hukum lingkungan tidak senada dengan konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan. Penegakan hukum lingkungan seolah hanya tajam ke bawah namun tumpul ke atas. Dalam tulisan ini, akan dibahas mengenai penegakan hukum lingkungan di sektor maritim dalam dua kasus yang berbeda, berkaitan dengan pelanggaran Undang-Undang Konservasi Nomor 5 Tahun 1990 Tentang Koservasi Sumber Daya Alam dan Ekosistemnya. Perbedaan sebab akibat dalam kasus yang berbeda tidak membuat hukum memperlakukan kedua kasus tersebut secara berbeda karena adanya asas kesamaan (equality before the law) dalam hukum. Tulisan ini akan memaparkan penegakan hukum, terutama hukum pidana, ditinjau dengan perspektif pembangunan berkelanjutan pada kasus nelayan dan kasus illegal fishing yang melibatkan korporasi. Berangkat dari perspektif tersebut, tulisan ini mencoba menganalisis alasan pentingnya tindakan afirmatif bagi penegakan hukum di masing-masing kasus. AbstractOne of the means to protect the environment is to firmly enforce the environmental law. Environmental legal instruments are made and enforced in order to prevent environmental damage. However, environmental law enforcement in practice is not always consistent with the concept of sustainable development. Environmental enforcement is sharper to the poor people, but dull to big corporations. This article attempts to discuss the enforcement of environmental law in the maritime sector in two different cases, with regard to the violation of Law no. 5 of 1990 regarding Conservation. Despite the different causation and magnitude of impacts, the law treats those cases equally due to the equality before the law principle. This article also elaborates the law enforcement, especially criminal law, with the perspective of sustainable development in the case of involving fishermen and the illegal fishing case involving a corporation. From this perspective, this paper analyzes the importance affirmative action for the law enforcement in each case.
