Full Description
Dear Reader,
With the extreme weather events experienced in 2024
emphasising climate risk, carbon markets looking poised for a rebound, and an
increase in climate change litigation, trends suggest some intriguing
developments in 2025.
This publication - now in its 22nd edition
- sets out to cover practical questions within the Environment & Climate
Change law topic across 17 jurisdictions, providing indispensable information
from leading legal minds for the benefit of you, the Readers. There are also deep dives into some of the
developing topics through Expert Analysis contributions from Steptoe LLP and
the United Kingdom Environmental Law Association (UKELA).
Between the ever-changing geo-political environment
and the severity of various climate anomalies, the next few years will
undoubtedly continue to see huge developments for this sector, making this
publication's importance greater now more than ever. As always, this publication has been written
by leading Environment & Climate Change lawyers and industry specialists,
for whose invaluable contributions the editors and publishers are extremely
grateful. I would also like to extend
special thanks to contributing editors Darren Abrahams and Tom Gillett from
Steptoe LLP for their leadership, support and expertise in bringing this
project to fruition.
