The Environmental Rights Review
The Environmental Rights Review (ERR) is a brand new open-access, online journal hosted by the Global Network for Human Rights and the Environment.
The ERR provides opportunities for scholars and practitioners to write and engage with cutting-edge research on the urgent topic of environmental rights, where interdisciplinary approaches address practical applications, and where ideas can be presented discursively with opportunities for responses and evolution. The ERR is a forum for engaging, changing, critical discussion of environmental rights seen broadly, encompassing a wide array interconnecting issues and questions.
