Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges of our time,
and has become one of the defining issues of the twenty-first
century. The radical changes which both developed and developing
countries will need to make, in economic and in legal terms, to
respond to climate change are unprecedented. International law,
including treaty regimes, institutions, and customary international
law, needs to address the myriad challenges and consequences of
climate change, including variations in the weather patterns, sea
level rise, and the resulting migration of peoples. The Oxford
Handbook of International Climate Change Law provides an
unprecedented and authoritative overview of all aspects of
international climate change law as it currently stands, with
guidance for how it should develop in the future. Over forty
leading scholars and practitioners set out a comprehensive
understanding of the legal issues that surround this vitally
important but still emerging area of international law. This book
addresses the major legal dimensions of the problems caused by
climate change: not only in the content and nature of the
international legal frameworks, which need implementation at the
national level, but also the development of carbon trading systems
as a means of reducing the costs of meeting emission reduction
targets. After an introduction to the field, the Handbook assesses
the relevant institutions, the key applicable principles of
international law, the international mitigation regime and its
consequences, and climate change litigation, before providing
perspectives focused upon specific countries or regions. The
Handbook will be an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and
practitioners of international climate change law. It provides
readers with diverse perspectives, bringing together
interpretations from different disciplines, countries, and
cultures.
