Introduction

Le résumé fourni par la source

This Introduction aims at providing the basic parameters of the inquiry, which approaches sustainability from a legal-evolutionary perspective. It defines the research questions, illustrates the main findings of the study, and clarifies its relevance. After presenting the structure of the book and explaining its rationale, it introduces the other Chapters and provides some interpretative keys emerging from the issues dealt with therein. The main argument of this Introduction is as follows: the European Green Deal is revising the traditional understanding of sustainability in the EU order. A potentially important but still under-explored process of legal change is now taking place. Next to sustainable development, the Commission is gradually articulating a different and promising understanding of sustainability aimed at ensuring ecosystem integrity and ecological primacy. Like any transition process, however, this one is also marked by tensions and contradictions, certainties and ambiguities.
