The Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law is a landmark reference
work, providing definitive and comprehensive coverage of this
dynamic field. Each volume probes the key elements of law, the
essential concepts, and the latest research through concise,
structured entries written by international experts. Each entry
includes an extensive bibliography as a starting point for further
reading. The mix of authoritative commentary and insightful
discussion will make this an essential tool for research and
teaching, as well as a valuable resource for professionals and
policymakers.Climate Change Law, the first volume of the Elgar
Encyclopedia of Environmental Law, provides a guide to the rapidly
evolving body of legal scholarship relating to climate change. The
amount of international, European and national legislation,
judicial decisions, and legal scholarship in the field of climate
law has now become almost overwhelming. This book focuses on the
underlying concepts that are of concern to researchers, students
and policymakers rather than on the details of national
legislation. The core topics include the difficulty of setting up a
coherent international treaty approach, the importance of national
and subnational legal action, the potential role of international
and national courts, and the importance of human rights and
environmental justice. Providing a comprehensive discussion, more
than 50 entries developed by experts from across the world cover
mitigation and adaptation issues in their wider context, from both
international and national perspectives. Each chapter concludes by
identifying important research challenges. Finally, the concluding
chapter argues that a discernible global legal regime is emerging.
The 2015 Paris Agreement marks both the increasingly interlinked
but polycentric nature of this new regime. This is the definitive
resource for all those seeking the state of the art of climate
change law, from students and legal scholars to practising lawyers,
civil servants and NGOs. Contributors include: D. Badrinarayana, D.
