Ishimaki Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab examines from a legal perspective who should bear responsibility for environmental problems, and how.
AboutAbout the lab
Giving environmental responsibility a legal form.
The Ishimaki Lab studies environmental law, with a central focus on the theory of legal responsibility.
Its subjects are not limited to traditional pollution problems but also include contemporary environmental issues such as global warming and marine plastic pollution.
To address such problems, the lab has focused on how legal systems can achieve a fair allocation of responsibility.
Recently, it has also been interested in trends in legal debate that seek to balance the advancement and social implementation of science and technology against risk management for the negative effects it may bring in the future.

*Illustrative imageReducing Plastic Waste Through Law
To address marine plastic pollution, Germany regulates plastics through its waste legislation. The lab studies how this system works and considers, as a matter of legal system design, who should bear responsibility for waste, and how, in order for that to be fair.
