This textbook, by three experts in the field, provides a comprehensive overview of international climate change law. Climate change is one of the fundamental challenges facing the world today, and is the cause of significant international concern. In response, states have created an international climate regime. The treaties that comprise the regime - the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement establish a system of governance to address climate change and its impacts. This book provides a clear analytical guide to the climate regime, as well as other relevant international legal rules. The book begins by locating international climate change law within the broader context of international law and international environmental law. It considers the evolution of the international climate change regime, and the process of law-making that has led to it. It examines the key provisions of the Framework Convention, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. It analyses the principles and obligations that underpin the climate regime, as well as the elaborate institutional and governance architecture that has been created at successive international conferences to develop commitments and promote transparency and compliance. The final two chapters address the polycentric nature of international climate change law, as well as the intersections of international climate change law with other areas of international regulation. This book is an essential introduction to international climate change law for students, scholars and negotiators.

'UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called Climate Change "the defining issue of our era". It presents international law and lawyers with a wide range of novel issues, practical as well as conceptual. These challenges are addressed in this volume with great authority by many of the leading international law scholars of our generation. It is an important and distinctive contribution to the burgeoning literature on an issue critical for the future of our planet.' – David Freestone, George Washington University, US Climate change will fundamentally affect every area of human endeavour, including the development of international law. This book maps the current and potential impacts of climate change on the norms, principles, rules and processes of international law. This timely study brings together a group of leading scholars in their respective fields of international law to examine the impacts of climate change, and our responses to it, on the whole spectrum of international legal regimes, including those dealing with everything from climate displacement, human rights, and international trade and investment, to the oceans, the environment, armed conflicts and the use of force, and outer-space. the volume also examines the impacts of climate change on the underlying principles and processes of international law including those relating to the making and enforcement of international law and to third party dispute resolution. the book shows that there is much more to dealing with climate change than negotiating one global climate change-specific regime. Other areas of international law can, and must, be included in the solution. In this way international law can maximise its coherence and its efficacy. This well-documented study will appeal to international lawyers, academics, policy makers, government employees, negotiators, practitioners, international legal theorists and anyone interested in climate change and how to maximise our international legal and policy responses to it.

Die zweibändige Buchpublikation ist ein erster akademischer Versuch das internationale Klimaschutzrecht auch im Zusammenhang internationaler Klimapolitik systematisch darzustellen. Internationales Klimaschutzrecht ist nicht nur ein neues Rechtsgebiet. Das Phänomen Klimawandel durchdringt öffentliches und privates Recht sowie nationales und internationales Recht in unterschiedlichster Weise. Hierbei entstehen neue Bereiche der Rechtsanwendung - sowohl formeller als auch materieller Ausprägung. In diesem Zusammenhang befasst sich die zweibändige Buchpublikation mit dem regimefragmentierten internationalen Recht und dessen vielfach überlappenden Governance-Rahmen. Gekennzeichnet durch seine Komplexität wird das internationale Klimaschutzrecht und insbesondere die Rechte und Pflichten von Staaten und internationalen Akteuren untersucht und gegenübergestellt. In zahlreichen fachübergreifenden Beiträgen internationaler Experten erörtert das Werk die unterschiedlichen Rechts- und Governance-Regime sowie angrenzende völkerrechtliche und weltpolitische Fragestellungen den Klimawandel betreffend.Der erste Band befasst sich mit internationalen Rechtsfragen und den zugrunde liegenden Rechtsinstrumenten, welche den Klimawandel - eine der größten Herausforderungen unserer Zeit - betreffen. Dabei werden u.a. folgende Schwerpunkte gesetzt: Internationaler Klimaschutz und Völkerrecht; Klimawandel und Menschenrechte; verwandte welthandelsrechtliche Fragestellungen; Seerecht und der Anstieg der Meeresspiegel; gerichtliche Überprüfbarkeit und zahlreiche angrenzende Rechtsfragen wie zum Beispiel zu folgenden Themen: Klimaeindämmungsmaßnahmen, natürliches Ressourcen-Management und Klima-Engineering.Der zweite Band beleuchtet, ausgehend von dem Rahmenübereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen über Klimaänderungen, rechtliche, politische und transdisziplinäre Fragestellungen des Klimaschutzes im Spannungsgefüge internationaler Diplomatie und globaler Governance. Die Begrenzung der fortschreitenden Erderwärmung und der Schutz von Mensch und Umwelt vor den Folgen des Klimawandels werden u.a. im Zusammenhang folgender rechtlicher und gesellschaftspolitischer Schwerpunkte untersucht: Internationale Sicherheit; nachhaltige Entwicklung; Klimamigration; und Anpassung an den Klimawandel.

"Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges of our time, and has become one of the defining issues of the twenty-first century. The radical changes which both developed and developing countries will need to make, in economic and in legal terms, to respond to climate change are unprecedented. International law, including treaty regimes, institutions, and customary international law, needs to address the myriad challenges and consequences of climate change, including variations in the weather patterns, sea level rise, and the resulting migration of peoples. ... This book addresses the major legal dimensions of the problems caused by climate change: including questions ranging from how to implement international legal frameworks at the national level, to how carbon trading systems can be used as a means of reducing the costs of meeting emission reduction targets."--Book jacket.

An Ecological Approach to International Law shows that international environmental law is fundamentally flawed and not equipped to meet global challenges. The book examines international legal responses to global climate change by analysing key concepts such as the doctrine of state sovereignty, the law on state responsibility, environmental rights and common heritage of mankind.

Since 2010, a significant quantity of international climate change finance has begun to reach developing countries. However, the transfer of finance under the international climate change regime – the legal and ethical obligations that underpin it, the constraints on its use, its intended outcomes, and its successes, failures, and future potential – constitutes a poorly understood topic. Climate Change Finance and International Law fills this gap in the legal scholarship. The book analyses the legal obligations of developed countries to financially support qualifying developing countries to pursue globally significant mitigation and adaptation outcomes, as well as the obligations of the latter under the international regime of financial support. Through case studies of climate finance mechanisms and a multitude of other sources, this book delivers a rich legal and empirical understanding of the implementation of states’ climate finance obligations to date. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of international law and policy, international relations, and the maturing field of climate change law.

Climate Change and the Law is the first scholarly effort to systematically address doctrinal issues related to climate law as an emergent legal discipline. It assembles some of the most recognized experts in the field to identify relevant trends and common themes from a variety of geographic and professional perspectives. In a remarkably short time span, climate change has become deeply embedded in important areas of the law. As a global challenge calling for collective action, climate change has elicited substantial rulemaking at the international plane, percolating through the broader legal system to the regional, national and local levels. More than other areas of law, the normative and practical framework dedicated to climate change has embraced new instruments and softened traditional boundaries between formal and informal, public and private, substantive and procedural; so ubiquitous is the reach of relevant rules nowadays that scholars routinely devote attention to the intersection of climate change and more established fields of legal study, such as international trade law. Climate Change and the Law explores the rich diversity of international, regional, national, sub-national and transnational legal responses to climate change. Is climate law emerging as a new legal discipline? If so, what shared objectives and concepts define it? How does climate law relate to other areas of law? Such questions lie at the heart of this new book, whose thirty chapters cover doctrinal questions as well as a range of thematic and regional case studies. As Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), states in her preface, these chapters collectively provide a “review of the emergence of a new discipline, its core principles and legal techniques, and its relationship and potential interaction with other disciplines.”

Do anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions affect human rights? Should fundamental rights constrain climate policies? Scientific evidence demonstrates that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions contribute to increasing atmospheric temperatures, soon passing the compromising threshold of 2° C. Consequences such as Typhoon Haiyan prove that climate alteration has the potential to significantly impair basic human needs. Although the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and human rights regulatory regimes have so far proceeded separately, awareness is arising about their reciprocal implications. Based on tripartite fundamental obligations, this volume explores the relationship between climate change and interdependent human rights, through the lens of an international and comparative perspective. Along the lines of the metaphor of the ‘wall’, the research ultimately investigates the possibility of overcoming the divide between universal rights and climate change, and underlying barriers. This book aims to be a useful resource not only for practitioners, policymakers, academics, and students in international, comparative, environmental law and politics and human rights, but also for the wider public.
