- This is the first scholarly monograph (238 pages) to examine an environmental tribunal, the National Green Tribunal (NGT), operating in a developing country (India). The empirical research took five years to comprehensively analyse NGT’s impact and profound contribution to India’s environmental jurisprudence; including 110 recorded interviews, analysis of 1,130 reported judgments and court observations. It critically examines (1) the ‘mixed’ Bench’s legal and scientific input into decision-making; (2) application of a human rights lens to address environmental protection; and (3) facilitation of access to environmental justice.Translated into Chinese (2019) it offers a template for developing countries.
