Van Calster, Vandenberghe and Reins have led an impressive group of
specialists from around the world to deliver the definitive book on
climate change mitigation. Mitigation law for all sectors (energy,
industry, transport, buildings, waste, land use, forestry), as well
as all relevant mitigation instruments (carbon trading, finance,
litigation) are discussed in great detail and with an eye on all
relevant countries and regions in the world, such as the EU, the
United States, China and the other BRICS countries. This book is a
valuable source of information on mitigation law and will be the
starting point for any future research and decision-making on
climate change mitigation.' - Jonathan Verschuuren, Tilburg
University, the NetherlandsGovernments around the world have been
trying to find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for decades.
This detailed Handbook considers the spectrum of legal and
market-based instruments as well as strategies and policies adopted
around the world and suggests more effective, comprehensive and
responsive ways of managing climate change mitigation. As well as
taking stock of the current and proposed legal instruments, the
book looks at the wider policy and economic aspects of coping with
climate change. It provides a comparative overview of key issues
across Europe, the United States, Asia-Pacific and the BRICS
countries, and discusses domestic, regional and international law
and governance. With perspectives from academia, government and
private practice, the expert contributors analyse key sectors such
as energy, transport, buildings, industry, land use and waste.
Important issues such as carbon trading, financing and litigation
are also addressed. The book demonstrates the variety of approaches
taken and their challenges with a view of fostering more effective
and pragmatic ways of managing climate change mitigation. This
timely book will be an authoritative resource for scholars of
climate change law and policy, whilst also providing a rigorous
overview for upper-level students. Policymakers will gain insights
from the comparative perspectives, and practitioners will
appreciate the broad range of practical issues addressed.
