As environmental law continues to evolve at local and global levels, who are the actors informing its development and how are they engaging with news and other media to define what is possible? Observing the interlocking activities of journalists, activists, lawyers, scientists, government and industry can reveal the enactment of environmental law as part of a much wider struggle to bring visibility to and action on environmental issues.
Interdisciplinary in approach and bringing together key concepts from media and communication studies and environmental jurisprudence, Green Lawfare provides a conceptual framework from which to identify and analyze how news and other media contribute to our expectations and hopes for the role of law during environmental conflict.
