Greening the Civil Codes: Comparative Private Law and Environmental Protection Summary

Greening the Civil Codes: Comparative Private Law and Environmental Protection by Sabrina Lanni

This book examines the greening of civil codes from a comparative perspective. It takes into account the increasing requirements of supranational rules, which favour measures to reduce global warming and its negative environmental impacts; it discusses the necessity to expand distributive justice given the current ecological emergency; and it reflects on which private law legal tools potentially may be employed to defend natures interests. The work fills a gap in the growing literature on developing rights of nature and ecosystem in transnational law. While the focus is on the environmental issues pertaining to the new civil codes and new projects of civil codes, the book promotes interdisciplinary research applicable to a range of environmental and natural resourcesfocused courses across the social sciences, especially those related to comparative law systems, legal anthropology, legal traditions in the world, political science and international relations.

Greening the Civil Codes: Comparative Private Law and Environmental Protection Reviews

"Taking you on a journey from Latin-America to China via the EU to explore how environmental concerns have integrated civil codes, this accurate and critical study paves the way for rethinking the role of private law in the field of environmental protection. A must read!"

Elise Poillot, Full Professor of Civil law at the University of Luxembourg

"Greening civil law is the responsibility of private law scholarship. Sabrina Lanni impressively leads the paths to a fundamental reorientation of private law by means of comparative law. The fundamental orientation of the private law system towards nature and the limits of human freedom set by nature creates the basis for revolutionary processes."

Martin Schmidt-Kessel, Full Professor of Consumer Law, Private Law and Comparative Law at the University of Bayreuth

"This book is very helpful for the constructive dialogue between private law and environmental law. The author analyses in depth a new trend of civil law codification, which makes environmental protection one of the fundamental values of private law."

Xue Jun, Full Professor of Civil Law at the Peking University

"An in-depth and comprehensive research on the increasing inclusion of environmental issues in current and draft Civil Codes in Europe, Asia and Latin America, thereby blending supranational regulations with private law, consumer protection and the natural world."

Ricardo Lorenzetti, Judge of the Supreme Court of Argentina and Professor of Civil and Commercial Contracts at the University of Buenos Aires
