‘These two essential areas of concern, human rights and the environment, urgently need bringing together ? [o]nly when the interface between them is fully acknowledged and clarified can we address the grave issues currently facing the world – from climate change to the impacts of globalisation’.

- Professor Laura Westra, PhD, PhD (Law), Professor Emerita (Philosophy), University of Windsor, Canada

Sustained reflection on the relationship between human rights and the environment has arguably never been more urgent, but the signs are that human rights and environmental discourses have, at present, an uneasy and relatively undertheorised relationship. This conference addresses important themes lying at the interface of these two important areas of concern.

Panels on: ‘Corporations, Human Rights and the Environment’; ‘Law, Rights and Anthropomorphism’; ‘Reimagining Property with Human Rights and the Environment in Mind’.

Papers include:

‘Corporations, Human Rights and Environment: Can the WTO play a role in realising corporate social responsibility?’
‘Building (property in) “the commons”’
‘Rationalising the Identification of Environmental Justice with Social Protection’.
‘Governing bio-energy: is it business as usual?’
‘The New Nuisance: Re-visioning the Common Law in the Age of Human Rights’
‘The Human Nature of Nature’
‘De-centring the Centre: The Gesture Away from Anthropo/Ecocentricity’
‘Companies, Bilateral Investments Treaties and the Environment’
‘’”Territorialism”: The Deep Green and Dominant Ideology of Landownership in Victorian Britain’.

Speakers: Professor Janet Dine (Queen Mary London); Dr Fiona Smith (University College London); Dr Jona Razzaque (University of the West of England); Professor Sean Coyle (University of Exeter); Dr Andreas Phillipopoulos-Mihalopoulos (University of Westminster); Professor Mark Stalworthy (University of Swansea); Professor Karen Morrow (University of Swansea); Dr Benjamin Pontin (University of the West of England); Dr Anne Bottomley (University of Kent).
