Book review. The precautionary principle in practice
RIS ID
15590
Abstract
Since 1992, when the precautionary principle reached centre stage in environmental discourse at the Rio Earth Summit, the literature on the principle has increased exponentially. The literature’s two main streams reflect the principle’s application in the fields of environmental management and public health. In the former field, the principle has generally been an issue either in approval processes for project developments or in management arrangements for the exploitation of natural resources.
