Earth is our Business takes forward the argument of Polly Higgins first book Eradicating Ecocide. This book proposes new Earth law but it is also about something more than law: it advocates a new form of leadership which places the health & well-being of people & planet first. Polly Higgins shows how law can provide the tools & be a bridge to a new way of doing business. She argues in fact that Earth is the business of us all not the exclusive preserve of the executives of the worlds top corporations. Expanding on the proposal in her first book to make Ecocide an international crime this book sets out the institutional framework for sustainable development & international environmental governance. It proposes new rules of the game to transform our economies energy supplies & political landscape in a radical but practical way.
