“…There is no explicit vesting in Dutch or German law of the importance of natural areas and natural processes in their own right. Thus a loophole remains for economic and other interests in case of conflict with nature's interests, which should be protected under law (Wilk. et al, 2019).…”

Many river systems in Europe have altered morphology and deteriorated ecosystems due to human interference. We demonstrate how conflicting interests of nature, society and economics in the Dutch-German Ems-Dollard system complicate achieving the nature restoration targeted by the EU Water Framework Directive. This article provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the natural characteristics of a water system and the practical implementation of regulation and policy in a transboundary setting. Important shortcomings of EU and national laws and directives are the static constraints for protection of demarcated habitats under EU directives, which do not do justice to natural hydro-morphodynamic processes.

“…. Wilk, Hegger, Dieperink, Kim, & Driessen (2019) further conceptualize the rights of rivers by zooming in on different categories of substantive and procedural river-related rights, and use the Rhine as an example to guide the reader through their analysis. They analyze the transformational power of granting rights to the Rhine and look at path dependency and conflicting interests: stronger ecological voices conflicting with vested interests in flood protection and navigation.…”

Freshwater resources are under increasing pressure. A substantial amount of the environmental flow, i.e., the water the aquatic ecosystem requires in order to thrive, has already been appropriated in rivers around the world (Acreman, 2010; Gerten et al., 2013). The 2030 Water Resources Group (2009) has predicted a 40% gap between freshwater demand and availability. It is expected that climate change will have a substantial impact on the hydrological cycle and freshwater resources. The risk of droughts and flooding in many areas is likely to increase as a result of intensifying precipitation patterns (Bates et al., 2008). The vulnerabilities related to freshwater resources lie in the combination of physical pressures and human development and decisions, such as economic development, increased population and urbanization, (in)sufficient governance (including funding and planning), ageing infrastructure, and so forth (Gain, Giupponi, & Wada, 2016). Given these increasing pressures, resilient and effective river basin management is paramount and one of the key components of sustainable development (

Understanding the Rights of Nature: Working Together Across and Beyond Disciplines

Recognising the rights of nature is seen by many as the paradigm shift needed to truly embed ecology and the environment into nature-based policy and management solutions to address biodiversity loss, climate change, and sustainable development. However, despite its potential, research across and beyond disciplinary boundaries remains very limited, with most located in the humanities and social sciences and often lacking connection with environmental sciences. Based on a multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary project, we identify some critical common themes among the humanities, social sciences, and environmental sciences to support future research on the potential of the rights of nature to address contemporary social-environmental challenges. We argue that future research needs to be not only interdisciplinary but also transdisciplinary since the movement of rights of nature is often driven by and based on knowledge emerging outside of academic disciplines.
