Abstract
This dissertation argues why a shift to ecological law from environmental law, particularly in Aotearoa, is now more pressing than ever. It will be argued that ecological law needs to be constitutional to be effective. Given Aotearoa's developing constitutional context, it is important that if a supreme, written and entrenched constitution is on the horizon that it reflects an "ecological constitution". I critique a number of current proposals for constitutional reform by assessing whether they are ecological in form and/or have the capacity to support ecological law.
