How do ecosystem services perform in enforceable law? Potentials and pitfalls within regional and national integration

Ecosystem Services, 2018, vol. 29, issue PB, 260-270

Abstract: Ecosystem services have constituted a highly discussed topic especially since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. This is in particular valid for the literature in environmental sciences and related economic sciences. The topic has gained less attention in other social sciences and up until now legal scholars have hardly taken up the issue for an in-depth analysis. Moreover in the legal practice the term has not played any substantial role apart from its inclusion in soft law documents that lack concrete and effective implementation including enforcement mechanisms.
