20 years after the adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the international climate regime has evolved into a highly specialized area of legal expertise. This book explores the relation of climate and law, highlighting international climate law as an emerging discipline. Not only are cross-cutting and sectoral issues examined, but also comparative climate law plays an important role.

Employees of Ecologic Institute have contributed the following chapters:

  • "Implementing Climate Governance: Instrument Choice and Interaction" (Michael Mehling)
  • "Alternative Venues of Climate Cooperation: An Institutional Perspective" (Camilla Bausch, Michael Mehling)
  • "Climate Law and Geoengineering" (Ralph Bodle)
  • "Climate Law in the United States: Facing Structural and Procedural Limitations" (Michael Mehling et al.)
  • "Climate Law and Policy in the European Union: Accidental Success or Deliberate Leadership?" (Michael Mehling et al.)

Single chapters as well as the whole book, which has been edited by Erkki J. Hollo, Kati Kulovesi and Ecologic Institute's Michael Mehling, can be purchased on the publisher's website at the price of 142,79€.
