Enviro Rights Map

Exploring resource rights and environmental law, the Enviro Rights Map will excite environmental law scholars. The easy-to-use platform is also a great resource for those outside of the field. Josh Gellers, an associate professor at the University of North Florida (UNF), developed the project within UNF's Digital Humanities Institute and in partnership with Erin Daly and Jim May from the Widener University Delaware Law School. The team gathered data from the Comparative Constitutions Project, HeinOnline's World Constitutions Illustrated, Global Environmental Constitutionalism, and The Environmental Rights Revolution. This data was transformed into a user-friendly map that provides insights on substantive and procedural environmental rights and environmental policy. Users can freely explore the map or filter by right (e.g., procedural or public policy) and location (e.g., Latin America and the Caribbean or North America). Each pinpoint on the map pulls up a legal principle or statement of law. Exploring these statements helps readers compare and contrast the ways environmental law is approached in different places, as well as different ways the relationship between humans and nature is viewed. In addition to the map, readers may also want to explore the Resources page to find external tools and materials that expand on environmental law and human rights.
