The book gives detailed discussions of essential EU climate law and
presents profound national reports which cover the transposition of
EU law and focus on national climate strategies, which are often
complex and sometimes also ambitious. Comparative studies at the
grassroots level are an important source of ideas and possibilities
and also useful documentation both for researchers and political
actors.' - Erkki Hollo, University of Helsinki, Finland'This is an
outstanding collection of essays by a multi-national team of
leading scholars. It reminds us that in a system of multi-level
governance, it is crucial to examine and appraise developments not
only at the level of the European Union but also within the Member
States. This task has become easier with the publication of this
excellent book.' - Joanne Scott, University College London, UK The
complex and multifaceted nature of EU climate legislation poses a
major challenge for EU Member States. This timely book focuses on
national climate action, addressing the regulatory responses
required for the purposes of meeting greenhouse gas emissions
reduction objectives for 2020 (and beyond). The book seeks to
answer such questions as: what kind of legislative approaches
should be developed to comply with EU climate law? What room for
national discretion should remain? What opportunities exist to go
beyond EU ambitions? In addition, distinguished authors analyze
national regulatory developments across selected Member States,
identifying potential areas for review and improvement. The book
offers further discussion and legal analysis of core themes such
as: long-term target setting; contrasting legislative approaches;
instrument mixes; and key linkages between environmental and energy
law. In light of the challenges confronting national legislators,
this book offers important insights into the role and contribution
of law towards improved climate protection, with potential lessons
for countries both within and outside the EU. With this in mind,
Climate Law in EU Member States will be a valuable read for
policymakers and civil servants at national ministries and at the
European Commission, carbon consultants and environmental
non-governmental organizations, as well as for academics in and
outside the EU. Contributors: E. Bergsma, J. de Cendra de Larragan,

This work has two main themes. First, it investigates the impact of
the relatively modern schemes for environmental protection
regulation upon the more venerable regime of planning control under
the Town and Country planning legislation. At its simplest,
proposals for the development of land will usually involve numerous
environmental policy considerations. There are issues here
concerning demarcation, in particular as to how far environmental
considerations should be relevant to the planning process.
This book focuses on land use, a topic at the heart of attempts to
find sustainable solutions. It will be invaluable to practitioners
and students of environmental law.
This book is a collective academic response from environmental law
scholars sharing an interest in Welsh perspectives on today's local
and global environmental challenges. The editors brought colleagues
together at a ground-breaking colloquium at Swansea University in
April 2011, seeking to foster new legal approaches at a time that
sees a new dynamic toward a devolved Wales, including in the
environmental policy field. This afforded the opportunity to
reflect on pressing environmental quandaries, and to bring together
contributors' conceptual insights and technical legal know-how in
identifying ideas for potential responses and solutions. These
environmental problems with palpably global implications, such as
climate change, thus require engagement at regional and local
levels to look to the future.
