The problem is that environmental law, even avant la lettre, was and remains designed as a law of negative externalities: a body of laws fundamentally organized so as to minimize interference with the underlying transaction while mitigating its negative externalities. This article proposes instead to reframe environmental law not as the expression of allocative efficiency but as a means of steering socio-economic processes in directions that are more likely to avoid an irreversible change in Earth System dynamics. 000300579 580__ $$aIn: Environmental Policy and Law. - Volume 50(2020), no. 6, pages 509-517 000300579 700__ $$aViƱuales, Jorge E 000300579 700__ $$aMercure, Jean-Francois 000300579 8564_ $$9a9cc3f8a-2526-4e36-990e-0e5700d58a6a$$s121189$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/300579/files/10.3233%40epl-209006.pdf 000300579 901__ $$uInternational Law Department$$0319287 000300579 909CO $$ooai:repository.graduateinstitute.ch:300579$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pIHEID:Explore 000300579 981__ $$aoverwrite
