This unique handbook provides authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the (constitutional) human rights to a healthy environment in Cameroon and Africa. It explores Cameroon and African regulatory and policy interventions regarding environmental protection, systematically addressing a broad range of sub-topics in a rich discussion of the various dimensions of environmental protection.

This handbook is timely, relevant, and adds to the limited existing literature on constitutional environmental governance in Cameroon and Africa, offering fresh and extensive insights into environmental protection in the region and sharing lessons that can be applied to other African countries.

This handbook is undoubtedly a valuable resource for scholars of human rights, environmental protection and related fields, and a practical guide for a range of actors in environmental governance, such as state actors and non-governmental organizations in Cameroon and Africa in general.
