After this recent reassessment of the book, I can only reiterate these sentiments. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Louis J Kotzé, Professor, North-West University, South Africa * Journal of Human Rights and the Environment, Vol. 4 No. 1 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoyd’s book forms an indispensable and influential addition to this literature not only due to the strength and comprehensiveness of its comparative legal analysis, but also because of the important empirical questions it seeks to answer as well as raises for future research. Indeed, by conducting the first serious and systematic empirical study of the environmental implications of the right to a healthy environment, Boyd has moved this field beyond the speculative and abstract arguments typical of earlier scholarship...Boyd’s meticulous examination of the legal status of the right to a healthy environment in close to a hundred countries provides powerful evidence of its salience to legal systemsaround the world...\u003cem\u003eThe Environmental Rights Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e forms an important, pioneering effort for understanding the legal influence and broader significance of the right to a healthy environment. As a result, the variety of empirical puzzles and questions that it leaves in its wake should continue to influence research in this field for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Sebastien Jodoin * McGill International Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy, Volume 8: Issue 1 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The Emergence and Evolution of a New Human Right\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Constitutions, Human Rights, and the Environment: The Context\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 The Right to a Healthy Environment: Framing the Issues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 The Prevalence and Enforceability of Environmental Provisions in National Constitutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 The Influence of International Law\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: The Constitutional Right to a Healthy Environment in Practice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 A Framework for Assessing the Legal Influence of the Right to a Healthy Environment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Latin America and the Caribbean\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Asia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Eastern Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Western Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Evaluating the Impacts of Environmental Provisions in Constitutions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Lessons Learned: Practical Experiences with the Right to a Healthy Environment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Do Environmental Provisions in Constitutions Influence Environmental Performance?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 An Idea Whose Time Has Come\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppendices\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix 1.
