In Climate Change Law in China in Global Context, seven climate
change law scholars explain how the country's legal system is
gradually being mobilized to support the reduction of greenhouse
gas emissions in China and achieve adaptation to climate change.
There has been little English scholarship on the legal regime for
climate change in China. This volume addresses this gap in the
literature and focuses on recent attempts by the country to build
defences against the impacts of climate change and to meet the
country's international obligations on mitigation. The authors are
not only interested in China's laws on paper; rather, the book
explains how these laws are implemented and integrated in practice
and sheds light on China's current laws, laws in preparation, the
changing standing of law relative to policy, and the further
reforms that will be necessary in response to the 2015 Paris
Agreement on Climate Change. This comprehensive and critical
account of the Chinese legal system's response to the pressures of
climate change will be an important resource for scholars of
international law, environmental law, and Chinese law.

This book addresses why, whether and how the existing legal
framework on water management in China could make climate change
adaptation a mainstream issue. The book uses a table to illustrate
the distinctions and similarities between IWRM and water-centered
adaptation to analyze the possibilities of mainstreaming
adaptation. The new water-planning processes and EIA are also
illustrated in the form of figures showing the differences after
factoring in adaptation considerations. Interviews with water
managers to obtain their perception and attitudes towards climate
change adaptation offer new perspectives for readers. The
adaptation- mainstreaming approach, which finds a way to balance
various interests and tasks, will arouse the interests of those
readers who argue that climate change is only one of the issues
challenging water management, and that poverty reduction,
environmental protection and living standard improvement are even
more important. Readers will also be interested to discover that
the adaptation mainstreaming approach could be applied in water
management institutions such as water planning and EIA. In
addition, the book offers a clear explanation of the challenges of
adaptation to the existing water-related legal framework from a
theoretical perspective, and provides theoretical and practical
recommendations.
