This new edition of the respected textbook has been updated to take full account of all the developments in international environmental law since the Rio Conference in 1992. There is a new chapter on international trade law and the environment, as well as new sections on sustainable development, climate change, biological diversity, environmental impact assessment, and the precautionary principle.

I used this book as a resource for my LLM thesis and it proved very useful. It provides good background knowledge on the evolution of environmental law in international law. I wish it had some case summaries though.
This is simply an outstanding addition to the field. There are other good resources out there but I found Birnie & Boyle's work one of the best. It continues to be one of my basic references - despite having become slightly dated. I recommend it with only one reservation: the authors use of endnotes rather than footnotes is aggravating. Perhaps the next edition will address this irksome problem?
