Abstract

This chapter explores the possibility of establishing green environmental courts in Jordan to support the country's environmental legislation and enhance sustainable development goals. The text discusses the current environmental laws and policies in Jordan, the nature of environmental crimes, and the need for specialized courts to address these issues. It proposes the formation of green courts, either independent or affiliated with existing courts, and suggests a two-grade litigation process. The chapter also examines the role of green judges and the potential for electronic or smart courts. It highlights the importance of environmental justice and the need for specialized procedures to support the environment. The text concludes with practical proposals for regulating litigation in green courts, including exemption from fees for plaintiffs, allowing any party to litigate for the public interest, and adding special executive procedures to monitor the implementation of decisions.
