This volume represents a contribution to the growing literature on
international and comparative climate change policy. The product of
a research project of the International Bar Association Section on
Energy and Natural Resources Law (SERL), it brings together leading
academic lawyers from around the world, who provide detailed
perspectives on what individual countries are doing (or, in some
cases, not doing) to address the climate change problem. The book
illustrates the range of national actions to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, including incentives for renewable energy sources,
forestry activities, voluntary agreements with industry, and
emissions trading schemes. By including experts from both
industrialized and developing countries, it also highlights the
very differing perspectives that must be addressed in any
international climate change regime, whether under Kyoto or a
successor. These detailed case studies provide a rich array of
material, which should be of significant interest not only to
academic and business lawyers, but also to economists and energy
experts, government officials, and NGOs.
There are few existential challenges more serious in the twenty
first century than energy transition. As current trends in energy
production prove unsustainable for the environment, energy
security, and economic development, innovation becomes imperative.
Yet, with technological challenges, come legal challenges. Zillman,
Godden, Paddock, and Roggenkamp assemble a team of experts in their
field to debate how the law may have to adapt to changes in the
area. What regulatory approach should be used? How do we deal with
longer-term investment horizons and so called 'stranded assets'
such as coal-fired power stations? And can a form of energy justice
be achieved which encompasses human rights, sustainable development
goals, and the eradication of energy poverty? With a concept as
unwieldy as energy innovation, it is high time for a text tackling
changes which are dynamic and diverse across different communities,
and which provides a thorough examination of the legal
ramifications of the most recent technological changes. This book
which be of vital importance to lawyers, policy-makers, economists,
and the general reader.
