The rise of populism threatens enlightened environmental law. In an age where ignorance is seen as a virtue, not a vice, environmental laws risk regression. No longer are debates about environmental problems driven by opinions founded on evidence, scientific method and reason. Instead, these debates, and how the law should address them, are driven by differing ways of viewing the world. Populists play on cultural biases and intuitive reasoning, personalise politics and use seductive slogans to distort the reality of environmental problems. As we become further estranged from our natural environment, people no longer can verify or deny these populist claims. This comment examines some of the ways populism has taken hold of environmental governance and how it might be addressed.

开明环境法的终结?

民粹主义的兴起威胁到开明的环境法。在无知被视为美德而非恶习的时代,环境法有倒退的风险。不再是由基于证据、科学方法和理性的观点驱动的关于环境问题的辩论。相反,这些争论以及法律应如何解决这些争论是由不同的世界观所驱动的。民粹主义者利用文化偏见和直觉推理,将政治个性化,并使用诱人的口号来扭曲环境问题的现实。随着我们与自然环境进一步疏远,人们不再能够证实或否认这些民粹主义主张。这篇评论探讨了民粹主义控制环境治理的一些方式以及如何解决。
