This groundbreaking book collects contributions from many of the
world’s leading climate and energy law scholars and provides the
first major study of national Climate Change Acts. This
cutting-edge type of legislation originated with the first Climate
Change Act framework which was passed in the United Kingdom in
2008, and is intended to enable the law to grapple effectively with
one of the great problems of our times, anthropogenic climate
change. Since 2008, national framework climate legislation has been
slowly but steadily emerging in countries across the world. This
trailblazing collection employs a comparative analytical legal
methodology and offers the first comprehensive study of this new,
innovative form of legislative regime. In addition to containing
broad internationalist chapters, deep-dive national case study
chapters are included that focus on individual countries and
provide analytical depth. A final chapter draws together the
threads of the book’s foregoing contributions to deduce
generalisable conceptual insights based on current knowledge and
experience. Uniquely, the book provides a conceptual model for
Climate Change Acts that can usefully inform the development of
national framework climate legislation in all countries.
