| Summary: | This paper examines the potential of existing legal frameworks to address the challenges of a telecoupled world in the context of pandemics and mass extinction. The section below traces the overlaps between the causes of the increased incidence of epidemics and pandemics and unprecedented global biodiversity loss. Section III evaluates the capacity of existing biodiversity law to respond to these linked global threats. Finally, section IV highlights the legal challenges and prospects which emerge from recognition that our social-ecological systems are intrinsically intertwined over vast distances across our planet. |
