The International Law on Climate Change
 |
| Anteprima |
Global
climate change is a topic of continuously growing interest. As more
international treaties come into force, media coverage has increased and
many universities are now starting to conduct courses specifically on
climate change laws and policies. This textbook provides a survey of the
international law on climate change, explaining how significant
international agreements have sought to promote compliance with general
norms of international law. Benoit Mayer provides an account of the
rules agreed upon through lengthy negotiations under the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and multiple other
forums on mitigation, geoengineering, adaptation, loss and damage and
international support. The International Law on Climate Change is
suitable for undergraduate and graduate students studying climate,
environmental or international law. It is supported by a suite of online
resources featuring regularly updated lists of complementary materials
and weblinks, and annually updated briefs for specific chapters.
