While governments assert that Canada is a world leader in sustainability, Unnatural Law provides extensive evidence to refute this claim. A comprehensive assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of Canadian environmental law, the book provides a balanced, critical examination of Canada's record, focusing on laws and policies intended to protect water, air, land, and biodiversity. Three decades of environmental laws have produced progress in a number of important areas, such as ozone depletion, protected areas, and some kinds of air and water pollution. However, Canada's overall record remains poor. In this vital and timely study, David Boyd explores the reasons why some laws and policies foster progress while others fail. He ultimately concludes that the root cause of environmental degradation in industrialized nations is excessive consumption of resources. Unnatural Law outlines the innovative changes in laws and policies that Canada must implement in order to respond to the ecological imperative of living within the Earth's limits. The struggle for a sustainable future is one of the most daunting challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Everyone - academics, lawyers, students, policy-makers, and concerned citizens - interested in the health of the Canadian and global environments will find Unnatural Law an invaluable source of information and insight.

"En mai 2009, le gouvernement du Canada, par le truchement de l'Agence de réglementation de la lutte antiparasitaire (ARLA) de Santé Canada, a demandé au Conseil des académies canadiennes de former un comité d'experts, afin de répondre à la question suivante : "Quel est l'état des connaissances scientifiques qui sous-tendent l'utilisation de stratégies de tests intégrés pour l'évaluation réglementaire des risques humains et environnementaux liés aux pesticides?" Le mandat du comité a été précisé dans les sous-questions suivantes: [1] Quel est l'état des connaissances scientifiques en ce qui concerne les outils et les sources de données associés à des stratégies de tests intégrés? [2] Quel est l'état actuel du recours à des stratégies de tests intégrés pour l'évaluation des risques des pesticides, produits pharmaceutiques, produits chimiques industriels et autres substances chimiques par des organismes de réglementation dans le monde? [3] Si des stratégies de tests intégrés étaient mises en œuvre, quelles conséquences cela pourrait-il avoir sur la perception et la confiance du public envers l'évaluation réglementaire et les décisions de gestion des risques liés aux pesticides?"--P. xv.
