South African law treats planning and the environment separately, causing considerable problems when developing land. Concerns in this regard are worldwide and various approaches have been adopted to solve them. This research seeks to explore what legal solutions can be provided using some international examples, fitting them within the unique governance, historical and legal context of South Africa. / Jurisprudence / LLM

Environmental justice, a new but rapidly developing concept in international environmental law, arose in the United States of America during the Environmental Justice Movement of the late 1970s and 1980s. It starkly highlighted injustices faced by people of colour and low-income communities as regards racially skewed environmental legal protection and allocation of environmental risks. The movement radically changed the meaning of ‘environment’ from its conventional green overtones to include issues of social justice at the core of environmental thinking. I critically examine the concept of environmental justice in the Kenyan context by highlighting the injustices, and the formulation and application of laws and policies that significantly impact on environmental regulation and equitable distribution of social services. / Private Law / LL.

My thesis examines the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), which is the site of ongoing debate between environmentalists and the oil industry. I begin by analyzing both sides’ claims about the area’s value and establishing that the coastal zone of the ANWR, whose fate is the most precarious, should be protected for both environmental and cultural reasons. I then examine two methods for protection: the common law, and regulation. I conclude that only through proactive regulation can the ANWR continue to thrive.

O Direito Ambiental não tem obterá resultados apreciáveis enquanto sustentabilidade for considerada o primeiro fundamento de uma ciência que precisa aproximar-se da filosofia para gerar efetividade juntamento com a compreensão da justiça intergeracional. Adotando-se a justiça intergeracional como fundamento do Direito Ambiental, que esta apoiada pelos Direitos Humanos, altera-se a idéia de desenvolvimento sustentável para desenvolvimento equitativo para o uso e transformações das riquezas naturais entre os povos. Para esta tarefa o conceito de parresía inspira novo ponto de vista para a comunicação jurídica que deve ser robustecida para denunciar o que a sustentabilidade faz parte da contabescência social que atinge o direito para torná-lo ineficiente. A parresía significa postura legítima para advogar-se em favor da humanidade que é entendida como família humana dentro de uma Filosofia do Direito Ambiental que estará assentada no conceito de physis. Toda esta concepção ingressará no Direito Internacional para interpor no diálogo entre as nações o conceito de justiça intergeracional. / Sustainability is a problematic concept that has obscured the legitimate concept of intergenerational justice. Environmental Law will not obtain appreciable results so long as sustainability is considered the first foundation of a science that needs to approach philosophy to generate effective compliance with the understanding of intergenerational justice. Adopting intergenerational justice as the foundation of Environmental Law, which is supported by Human Rights, changes the idea of sustainable development for equitable development for the use and transformation of natural wealth among peoples. For this task the concept of parrhesia inspires a new point of view for legal communication that must be strengthened to denounce what sustainability is part of the social contagion that reaches the right to make it inefficient. Parresía means a legitimate posture to advocate for the humanity that is understood as a human family within an Environmental Law Philosophy that will be based on the concept of physis. All this conception will enter into international law to interpose in the dialogue between nations the concept of intergenerational justice.
