Climate change has thrust us into a ''no-analog'' future in which
climate disasters threaten to cause extraordinary damage, with
little precedent to guide policymakers and private actors.
Addressing such risks requires a firm grounding in disaster risk
reduction, climate change policy, and environmental law. This
Research Handbook provides readers with that integrated foundation,
investigating topics in international law as well as domestic
programs from countries around the world. Because climate disasters
affect both government and non-government actors, the Research
Handbook covers issues of both public and private law. We know from
the scientific literature and recent experience that the laws
addressing natural disasters are insufficient to confront disasters
amplified by climate change. The Research Handbook acknowledges
that the majority of disasters are susceptible in some way to
changes in the earth's climate and explores the barriers to, and
opportunities for, finding legal solutions to the risks posed by
such disasters. It shows that climate change must be considered in
order to fully understand disaster risk and the respective legal
and policy responses. The Research Handbook also emphasizes the
moral responsibility we have to move as quickly as possible to
create a carbon-free economy. This work will be of great appeal to
legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who are interested
in environmental law or climate change as it relates to
international and domestic law and policy. Contributors include:
