Abstract

The article critiques the traditional first-order (individual) and second-order (collective) liability systems for environmental harm, arguing that both fail to adapt to the complexities and uncertainties of environmental damage. It advocates for a new, knowledge-based liability system that integrates scientific expertise, societal learning, and adaptive decision-making to address these challenges effectively.
