Dr Tiago de Melo Cartaxo, founder and lead of the Exeter Centre for Environmental Law, has developed a new blueprint which he hopes will rescue urban environmental policy from fragmented governance and outdated legal frameworks. The book, From 'Environmental Rights to Resilience Justice: Innovative Legal Tools to Face Urban Uncertainty' (published by Springer), provides a practical toolkit encouraging the dismantling of traditional and maladaptive regulatory barriers. Dr de Melo Cartaxo said “We need to ensure the law is not static and responds to changing realities and the huge amount of data we now have about the environment and how people live, thanks to new technology. This can really help policymakers and law enforcers understand how communities feel about decisions and carry out better consultations. This can help to speed up and improve decision-making. https://lnkd.in/eFetqvvm Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter Graduate School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Exeter
