Essential EU Climate Law

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Taken together, the work, in its 12 chapters, masters the self-imposed task of compactly presenting the EU climate law framework in an excellent manner.' -- Florian Graber, NR - Journal of Sustainable Development Law (translated from the original) 'This is the book the world needs to understand how the EU - a leading light in climate policy - is addressing climate change. Authoritative yet approachable, there is simply no better comprehensive introduction to the issue.' -- Arden Rowell, University of Illinois, US 'Essential EU Climate Law is a very important contribution to the effort to understand and deal with climate change. It provides a remarkably thorough and readable text on both the nature of EU climate mitigation law and the implications of the laws for society. Offering a clear and detailed account of the history and evolution of EU climate mitigation law it also considers the impact of other legal developments, such as in renewable energy, energy efficiency and carbon capture, that interact with climate laws. It also does an excellent job of integrating other areas of law that are critical to a successful climate mitigation effort including multi-level governance and human rights. This textbook is an outstanding resource for students and professors but it is more than just a textbook. It is also a must read for anyone who wants to understand in depth the essence of EU climate law.' -- LeRoy Paddock, The George Washington University Law School, US 'This second edition of Essential EU Climate Law is a must have for everyone dealing with EU climate regulation. All essential features of the regulation of climate change in the EU are dealt with in this impressive volume by a distinguished group of contributors. It is the primary source of inspiration for anyone looking for first hand information on the state of climate law in the EU.' -- Michael Faure, Maastricht University and Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam, the Netherlands Acclaim for the first edition: 'It establishes the foundation for an understanding of climate change law within the EU and would be of use to those who need to follow, understand and implement the measures described... this is an extremely useful resource, demonstrating good value for money.' -- Gina Nason, Emerald Insight, UK 'Woerdman, Roggenkamp and Holwerda have written a comprehensive and readable introduction to EU climate law. All targets and instruments of the EU to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are investigated, including related issues such as energy network management. Useful for every reader from undergraduates to professors and policymakers, this volume ought to be on the bookshelf of anyone interested in climate change mitigation policy.' -- Daniel H. Cole, Indiana University, US 'We highly recommended this introductory text for courses covering EU climate mitigation law, and for those involved in the context of broader curricula on climate law, energy law and EU law in general as these areas of law emerged as major subjects in their own right in the next few years.' -- The Barrister Magazine
