This book covers international investment law and investor-state dispute settlement in the energy transition era.The Paris Agreement makes it clear that we need a climate-resilient development in order to limit the rise in global average temperature to 1.5℃ pre-industrial levels. International lawyers have caught up to reality and also to understanding the role that the legal framework and legal processes play in causing as well as solving the global climate crisis. Put simply, the energy sector, as well as the overall economy, must become greener. To achieve green transition, foreign direct investments are crucial. With that in mind, this book discusses how economy, environmental policy, and investment protection must work together as an effective global governance tool. This promotes and protects renewable energy investments on the one hand, and aids sustainability on the other. This book underscores key issues in the field and offers an overview of the legal landscape available to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement, which clearly articulates that finance flows should be consistent with a pathway to low greenhouse gas emissions.This book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers in the field of investment law, energy law and environmental law, in general, and those operating at the intersection of the mentioned, in particular.

In Investors, States, and Arbitrators in the Crosshairs of International Investment Law and Environmental Protection, Dr Crina Baltag and Ylli Dautaj look at the investor-State dispute settlement system and inquire whether this is the most suitable transnational venue for resolving investment disputes that have an environmental component. This culminates essentially in whether arbitration is a legitimate forum and whether privately appointed arbitrators appropriately can resolve environmental-related disputes. These disputes are bound to increase in frequency because host-States are also partaking in global efforts to respond to environmental challenges.

Digital Hearings - Civil Procedure and Arbitration is an anthology that includes a collection of in-depth submissions from renowned judges, arbitrators, counsel, and scholars engaging with difficult questions related to digital hearings.

All authors have had their share of experience with digital procedures in court and in arbitration and so have the editors. Drawing on their expertise, the book contains a summary of pros and cons, do’s and don’t’s, culminating in a nuanced articulation of what digital procedures are, why digital procedures may be good, when to proceed wholly or partially with digital features, and how to best plan, organize, and execute an effective digital procedure that does not undercut the fundamentals of civil litigation or arbitration, including the due process of law.
