Resumo

In recent decades, an increasing number of disturbing trends have prompted many scientists and policy analysts to suggest that, as a species, we may be on the verge of a major transition or turning point.  Persistent negative trends in resource availability, biodiversity, environmental quality and human well-being indicate that the current global development model may be damaging Earth™s essential systems and processes beyond recovery.  Environmental law, as it exists in most countries, has not succeeded in controlling the impacts and effects of this development model.  A jurisprudence of sustainability is necessary, based on a set of principles that will ensure a more proactive, scientifically-based, integrated, communal and transparent approach to development regulation.
