Abstract

This is a contribution to a symposium volume on Dan Bodansky's "Art and Craft of International Environmental Law". It takes as its starting point, Bondansky's accurate claim that "International environmental law is neither a panacea nor a sham. It can play a constructive role, but that is all. It might be called a 'thirty-percent” solution.'" While it might be more than that some day, the contribution argues that outcome is not likely so long as the international community retains the concept of sustainable development, as it is currently understood, as its organizing principle.

Keywords: International Environmental Law, Sustainable Development, Effectivness
