International Environmental Law offers a concise, conceptually clear, and legally rigorous introduction to contemporary international environmental law and practice. Authored by Pierre-Marie Dupuy, this second edition covers all major environmental agreements, paying particular attention to their underlying structure, main legal provisions, and practical operation. The book blends legal and policy analysis, making extensive reference to the jurisprudence and scholarship, and addresses the interconnections with other areas of international law, including human rights, humanitarian law, trade, and foreign investment.

The material is structured into four sections – foundations, substantive regulation, implementation, and influence on other areas of international law – which help the reader navigate the different areas of international environmental law. Each chapter includes charts summarizing the main components of the relevant legal frameworks and provides a detailed bibliography.

Intended for practicing and academic international lawyers who want an accessible, up-to-date introduction to contemporary international environmental law, as well as non-lawyers seeking a concise and clear understanding of the subject, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities of global environmental governance.
