The Kyoto Protocol was a milestone event in the process of getting
global climate change on to the political agenda and taking the
first tentative steps towards internationally co-ordinated action.
This book brings together researchers from the disciplines of law,
economics, political science and sociology to analyse the
instruments which have been set up to manage climate change and the
institutional shifts that are required for the reduction of
greenhouse gases (GHGs). The authors highlight the need for an
adequate implementation structure and well designed flexible
instruments to enable emissions targets to be achieved. They
discuss the level of international coordination which is required
for the smooth operation of flexibility mechanisms and the
importance of ensuring these instruments fit within existing
national structures. In some countries, there are concerns that the
introduction of cap and credit trading programmes may require an
overhaul of existing environmental legislation. Technical
innovations will also have a critical role to play in preparing the
ground for increasingly ambitious controls of GHGs. The authors
emphasise the need for an evolutionary development of instruments
to support such innovations and the potentially vital roles of
firms and governments to help their quick diffusion. This book
presents an unusual, fascinating and highly instructive mixture of
approaches which will be readily accessible to a broad array of
readers from a variety of scientific backgrounds. It will prove
invaluable to economists, political and social scientists, lawyers,
practitioners and decision-makers involved with climate change
policy and international environmental law.
