Abstract: Introduction: In this chapter, we explore the implications of regenerative approaches for environmental law – approaches that, in essence, involve the regeneration and restoration of nature. First, we analyze the relationship between regenerative and sustainability approaches. Second, we consider current instantiations of regenerative approaches in environmental law, focusing on the European Union (EU) Soil Health Law and the EU Nature Restoration Law. Third, we examine the regulation of corporate regenerative claims. Finally, we consider whether a new regenerative principle of environmental law may be emerging. We argue there might be advantages to such a principle, but that there are also barriers to consider.
