Summary
Chapter 8 is the concluding chapter of this text, bringing together the key themes and findings of the monograph. The chapter begins by re-highlighting the possibilities of the different jurisdictions acting as sources of legal reforms for the other jurisdictions, and the interactions between these reforms in relation to the right’s core elements under legal transplant theory. Building on these findings and those relating to the likelihood of convergence occurring under the right, the chapter moves to discuss the deeper implication of the text for the right and its origins. The chapter concludes by reconnecting these findings and the right of access to environmental information with the broader environmental issues that are faced by Earth today.
