Abstract
Abstract The rights of nature advocacy movement has gained traction internationally, but has not grabbed hold in the United States on a national level. Though it has found success locally, a different, more measured, incremental approach may be more effective if rights of nature advocates are to see their policies implemented on a bigger scale in the US. Focusing on small steps, and building momentum from the ground up, may be the most feasible path for rights of nature to become a part of our legal framework.
期刊介绍:
The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
