Yang, T., and Percival, R.V. (2008). The Emergence of Global Environmental Law . Web. The public unease about the environmental issues over the last several decades has been an issue of concern and there have been the introduction of international laws trying to tackle environmental problems. These laws have been experienced both in terms of global and national laws governing the managing of the environment. The authors of this paper have covered how the global law on environment emerged, the reasons why the laws emerged, (is it because of globalization, or ecological and human necessities?) and finally what impacts the laws have had on development in their bid to supporting a healthy environment and how people have conceptualized the laws. The source is relevant to environmental law since it gives all interested parties a brief history of the laws and how they have forced man in changing the way he does his activities. Shelton, D., and Kiss, A. (2005). Judicial handbook on Environmental law: United Nations Environment Program . Web. The deterioration of the environment continues to threaten the survival of man and other living things. With two thirds of the world population living in areas of water shortages, the problems of lack of clean water to drink and poor sanitation are a leading cause of death. Without everyone’s effort to preserve the world, the biosphere may be unable to support everybody and the future generations will suffer unless the current patterns of production are changed. The handbook was drafted in a bid to enable the judges in all courts of laws or tribunals to identify well before hand the environmental issues being brought before them and how they ought to interpret the situations in order to make rulings that align with environment protection. The handbook simply provides the decision makers with a guideline since it contains information on international and comparative environmental laws and how they have been used. Ashford, N.A., and Caldart, C. (2008). Environmental Law, Policy, And Economics: Reclaiming The Environmental Agenda . Massachusetts: Massachusetts Information Technology Press. Illustrated. The book provides a valuable foundation for creating multidimensional approaches to protecting the environment without being partisan. It offers a combination of environmental science, economics, law and policies. The book examines the effectiveness of law and economics including the emergence of information and the tools addressing the current environment challenges. The authors hope that the book will provide the basis for renewing everybody’s commitment and attitude towards the environmental health. With the human race future being dependent on how well we treat the environment, there is thus the need for human beings to turn to sustainable development.
