Produktbeschreibung

This edited collection proposes a wide range of approaches to address the legal issues pertaining to the end of the fossil fuel era. While the fossil fuel era is coming to an end both because of the inherent limits of its resources and because of the need to prevent to further CO2 emissions in an already saturated atmosphere, the legal dispositions to ensure an ordered and rational shift toward cleaner energy still need to be developed - not only in relation to CO2 emissions themselves but also in relation to the manifold issues related to environmental justice in an era of global climate change. This book is unique in that it provides a theoretical framework but also works to address cutting edge issues through a series of case studies.
