Climate Change Law is the first book to offer a concise, readable
treatment of this entire rapidly evolving body of law. Climate law
runs the gamut from state and local regulations to federal policies
and international agreements and includes both public and private
sector involvement. This issue is just too important to leave to
specialists alone. The focus is on core concepts of climate change
law rather than all of the complex details. The book begins by
discussing the scientific and policy issues that frame the legal
scheme, including the state of climate science, the meaning of the
social cost of carbon, and the variety of tools that are available
to reduce carbon emissions. It then covers in turn the
international, national, and state efforts in this sphere. Finally,
the book turns to the challenge of adapting to climate change,
before exploring the concept of geoengineering and the potential
challenges associated with using geoengineering as a tool for
addressing climate change. The new edition covers major
developments such as the Supreme Court's decision in West Virginia
v. EPA, Trump Administration rollbacks and their subsequent fates,
climate litigation brought by state and local governments, and the
implementation of the Paris Agreement. The book is designed to be
accessible to a broad range of readers, not just those who have
backgrounds in climate science, environmental economics, or law.
