Summary
The final chapter offers a brief summary of the core arguments of the book, specifically explaining that the environmental minimum constitutes a normatively attractive and practically viable framework that translates general and abstract committments into specific and practical measures to protect the environment. The chapter then explores the overarching incremental theme of the environmental minimum, highlighting its preference for continuity with established legal categories and principles. It closes with an outlook and situates the framework in the broader legal and socio-political landscape.
