Description
This volume brings together a carefully curated selection of landmark decisions from the Environment and Land Court (ELC) of Kenya, a specialized court established under Article 162(2) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Mandated to adjudicate disputes concerning the environment, land use, occupation, and title, the Court continues to shape Kenya’s legal and governance landscape in profound ways. This case digest distills the Court’s most influential rulings and judgements, illustrating emerging jurisprudence on land governance, environmental protection, and sustainable resource management. Its publication is timely, arriving at a moment when conversations around Environmental and Social Governance (ESG), climate change, and natural resource extraction are redefining legal responsibilities and policy choices in Kenya and across the region. Designed for practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and students, this book serves as a practical and accessible companion to understanding the evolving mandate of the ELC. It is, quite simply, the Environment and Land Court in your pocket.
