With emission-reduction commitments under the Kyoto Protocol now
extended to 2020, "Kyoto compliance" will remain the reference case
for state compliance with climate change obligations throughout the
rest of the decade. This is the first book on state compliance that
treats the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and their subordinate
institutions as case studies in new international trends regarding
state compliance.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, from UNFCCC decisions to
national-court judgments, this book clarifies the multiple layers
of state compliance within the evolving international and
transnational climate change regime. It provides a conceptual
framework and mode of evaluation of the regulatory elements that
have evolved to date. It comments on the current fragmentation
(under the Bali Roadmap process) and possible future unification of
accountability and enforcement elements (under the Durban Platform
for Enhanced Action).
The book makes a unique contribution to the question of
compliance of states with obligations flowing from the
international climate change regime. It argues that the monitoring,
reporting, and verification of state emissions is the foundation
upon which the international climate change regime is built.
Finally it looks to the future of state compliance under the
"next-generation" global climate change treaty to take effect as of
2020.
This original synthesis in state compliance, a fundamental area
of climate change regulation, is aimed at researchers and
postgraduate students in environmental law, international law,
international relations and environmental management.
