Description

The Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law is a landmark reference work, providing definitive and comprehensive coverage of this dynamic field. Each volume probes the key elements of law, the essential concepts, and the latest research through concise, structured entries written by international experts. Each entry includes an extensive bibliography as a starting point for further reading. The mix of authoritative commentary and insightful discussion will make this an essential tool for research and teaching, as well as a valuable resource for professionals and policymakers.Climate Change Law, the first volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law, provides a guide to the rapidly evolving body of legal scholarship relating to climate change. The amount of international, European and national legislation, judicial decisions, and legal scholarship in the field of climate law has now become almost overwhelming. This book focuses on the underlying concepts that are of concern to researchers, students and policymakers rather than on the details of national legislation.

The core topics include the difficulty of setting up a coherent international treaty approach, the importance of national and subnational legal action, the potential role of international and national courts, and the importance of human rights and environmental justice. Providing a comprehensive discussion, more than 50 entries developed by experts from across the world cover mitigation and adaptation issues in their wider context, from both international and national perspectives. Each chapter concludes by identifying important research challenges. Finally, the concluding chapter argues that a discernible global legal regime is emerging. The 2015 Paris Agreement marks both the increasingly interlinked but polycentric nature of this new regime.

This is the definitive resource for all those seeking the state of the art of climate change law, from students and legal scholars to practising lawyers, civil servants and NGOs.

Reviews / Votes

'Consistent with the concept of an encyclopedia, this work is a veritable treasure chest of information and perspectives on every conceivable aspect of climate law, encompassing also both developed and developing country contexts. The array of contributors is stunning, comprising a large proportion of the world's leading experts in climate law. This will be a standard point of reference for scholars and researchers henceforth. Truly a "magnum opus" - and a great credit to its co-editors, who have assembled and also contributed to it.' -- Rob Fowler, University of South Australia and Chair of IUCN Academy of Environmental Law, 2008-13 'Farber and Peeters have brought together a large group of renowned climate law scholars and produced this remarkably comprehensive book, which brings order to the overwhelming volume of legislation, private standard setting, judicial decisions, and legal scholarship on climate change. This book provides an incisive, solid and reliable basis for further legal research into any climate change related topic and is a 'must-read' for any scholar and student researching climate law.' -- Jonathan Verschuuren, Tilburg University, the Netherlands 'In sum, the book offers an indispensable resource. The bibliographies attached to each submission are fulsome and add real value to the text. . . The the reader will find not only information -- but also inspiration.'- Environmental Liability
