This book would not have come into being without the initial help and support of Professor Elizabeth Kirk, University of Lincoln. The Colloquium from which this book builds benefitted from the support of the Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance and the Strathclyde Law School. We are profoundly grateful for the help and assistance of the whole Strathclyde team, both in putting together the 2018 Colloquium as well as in supporting this publication. The editors would also like to thank the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law Secretariat – in particular, William Piermattei of the University of Maryland Carey, School of Law and Jessica Steinberg Albin of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. The editors extend our profound thanks to Dr Iyan Offor for his assistance in preparing this manuscript. Finally, the editors wish to thank the editorial team at Edward Elgar, and in particular Ben Booth and Natasha Rozenberg, for their help, assistance and patience during the editorial process.
