The year 2020 cannot end quickly enough.We enter the final quarter of a year in which cataclysmic fires erupted across Australia and the United States (US) west coast, devastating floods swept across Sudan, a pandemic ravages the lives of millions while bringing the global economy to a virtual standstill, and acts of profound injustice have acted as a startling reminder of the systemic racism that pervades American society as well as others around the world. Environmental concerns are deeply interwoven with each of these storylines. In many respects 2020 represents a glimpse into the future that climate science has warned us about for decades. The risk of intensified fires and floods has long been a major theme of such warnings. Epidemiologists have cautioned that infectious diseases may spread faster and further in a warmer world. Also, social unrest, with its invariably racist inflections, will no doubt result from climate migration, from strains on global food supply, from water insecurity, and from the multitude of other ways in which environmental change and climate change expose and exacerbate existing social and ecological vulnerabilities. A persistent theme in the pages of Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) is that environmental law and policy cannot and should not be divorced from broader humanist concerns and objectives. To say so is not to recess into anthropocentrism, but rather to affirm that humanity’s depredations of the planet’s ecological systems are so pervasive that no aspect of social organization can, or should, ignore them any longer. Environmental law ought never again be regarded as a mere niche. Environmental awareness is not a luxury; it is a staple of social progress. Environmental degradation threatens culture; it endangers the economy; it perpetuates injustice; and it deprives our children of the opportunity to flourish. Now, more than ever, students of environmental law and policy must bring their knowledge, skills, and values to bear on the extraordinary and multifaceted problems that confront us on every side. Nowhere is the integration of environmental and broader social concerns more necessary than in those contexts in which Indigenous populations are forced to confront state authority for basic environmental welfare. In countless instances, global

全球动荡中的原住民权利

2020 年不能很快结束。我们进入了一年的最后一个季度,在澳大利亚和美国 (US) 西海岸爆发了灾难性的火灾,毁灭性的洪水席卷了苏丹,一场大流行蹂躏了数百万人的生命,同时带来了全球经济几乎停滞不前,严重的不公正行为令人震惊地提醒人们,美国社会以及世界各地普遍存在的系统性种族主义。环境问题与这些故事情节深深交织在一起。在许多方面,2020 年代表了对气候科学几十年来一直警告我们的未来的一瞥。火灾和洪水加剧的风险长期以来一直是此类警告的主要主题。流行病学家警告说,传染病可能在温暖的世界中传播得更快、更远。还,毫无疑问,社会动荡总是带有种族主义色彩,其原因是气候迁移、全球粮食供应紧张、水资源不安全,以及环境变化和气候变化暴露和加剧现有社会和生态脆弱性的多种其他方式. 跨国环境法 (TEL) 页面中的一个持久主题是,环境法和政策不能也不应该脱离更广泛的人文关怀和目标。这么说并不是要陷入人类中心主义,而是要肯定人类对地球生态系统的掠夺如此普遍,以至于社会组织的任何方面都不能或不应该再忽视它们。环境法不应再被视为单纯的利基市场。环保意识不是奢侈品;它是社会进步的主要内容。环境退化威胁文化;它危及经济;它使不公正永久化;它剥夺了我们的孩子茁壮成长的机会。现在,环境法律和政策的学生比以往任何时候都更需要运用他们的知识、技能和价值观来应对我们在各个方面面临的非凡和多方面的问题。在土著居民被迫与国家当局对抗基本环境福利的情况下,将环境问题和更广泛的社会问题结合起来最为必要。在无数情况下,全球 环境法律和政策的学生必须运用他们的知识、技能和价值观来应对我们在各个方面面临的非凡和多方面的问题。在土著居民被迫与国家当局对抗基本环境福利的情况下,将环境问题和更广泛的社会问题结合起来最为必要。在无数情况下,全球 环境法律和政策的学生必须运用他们的知识、技能和价值观来应对我们在各个方面面临的非凡和多方面的问题。在土著居民被迫与国家当局对抗基本环境福利的情况下,将环境问题和更广泛的社会问题结合起来最为必要。在无数情况下,全球
