Energy Law, Climate Change and the Environment

Edited by Martha M. Roggenkamp, Professor of Energy Law and Director, Kars J. de Graaf, Professor of Public Law and Sustainability and Ruven C.Fleming, Assistant Professor of Energy law, University of Groningen, the Netherlands

'This impressive and ambitious volume could not be more timely. Climate change now firmly links energy and the environment, and the way in which energy law is structured will profoundly influence the effectiveness of policy responses. Written by leading experts from across the world, this is the most comprehensive examination of energy law to date that has been written with climate change and the environment in mind. As such it will be an essential reference work for lawyers and policy makers engaged in these issues.'
