This journal explores the intersection of human rights and environmental law, particularly within the context of the Anthropocene. Articles examine the rights of environmental defenders, the concept of future generations in international environmental law, and the application of 'rights of nature' in legal challenges against extractive projects. It also delves into decolonial and feminist perspectives on environmental justice, the legal implications of climate change, and the role of Indigenous knowledge in environmental governance.
