Dear all,
A new book by a scholar linked to the GNHRE network, Dr Kerri Woods, is just out with Edward Elgar Press: Human Rights and Environmental Sustainability:
‘Human rights and environmental sustainability have virtually unassailable legitimacy as objectives in the contemporary world. But do they work with or against each other? In this forensic dissection of the relationship between the two concepts, Kerri Woods raises the analytical bar to new heights. The result is a striking combination of intellectual sophistication and political sensitivity – not to be missed.’
– Andrew Dobson, Keele University, UK

Warm regards,
