Whither Sustainability?

Abstract

This paper will critically analyse the promise inherent in these proposed reforms for the evolution of domestic environmental law and keeping pace with ecological realities by using the writings of Klaus Bosselmann to interrogate how the transformative concepts of sustainability, ecological governance, and justice can be used to re-imagine environmental law more generally. My presentation will be divided into two broad parts: • Sustainability, ecological governance, and justice; and • The promise inherent in the proposed RMA reforms
