Full Description
As the challenges posed by climate change become increasingly urgent, the importance of robust climate change law cannot be overstated. Climate change law and related litigation has increased and governments and organisations are being held to account.
In Climate Change Law and Practice, Louise Smail draws on her deep knowledge of environmental law to explore the impact of legislation, and looks at how climate change law is working, focusing on the areas where cases have been brought and their success or otherwise.
The book examines national regulations, regional agreements, and international treaties, most notably:
- The Paris Agreement
- The European Green Deal
- National laws and regulations
This book assists barristers and solicitors needing to understand how climate change law is developing to best support their clients. It is useful for policymakers, legislators and companies impacted by climate change laws, as well as academics in the field of environmental law, carbon literacy and climate change.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.
