Justice Brian Preston, Chief Judge of the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales, who examined how law could require the achievement of net zero and nature-positive outcomes by creating enforceable rights and duties. Discussing emerging judicial trends, key legal questions on standing, enforceability, and remedies, and the role of courts in ensuring that climate and biodiversity goals were not just aspirational but legally binding.

This book was the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the law of net zero and nature-positive outcomes in England and Wales. It examined the key legislative frameworks, including the Climate Change Act 2008 and the Environment Act 2021, and explored how legal obligations on net zero and nature-positive commitments translated across different sectors of the economy. The co-editors offered cutting-edge legal analysis and practical applications, providing valuable insights into the evolving legal landscape.
