Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the run-up to the United Nations' 15th Conference on Climate Change, COP15, in Copenhagen, the University of Copenhagen has hosted an international negotiation competition for law students - The Copenhagen Competition." "The competition is a chance for law students from various places of the world to present their innovative ideas. By the end of 2008, 14 teams of students and a coach from 14 different law faculties from selected universities all over the world, representing five continents, submitted their written proposals for the Written Round of the competition." "This book presents the 14 papers which are all of a very high quality. They all demonstrate comprehensive understanding of the legal problems related to the emissions trading system and the international framework as such. Moreover, the creativity in argumentation and the innovative solutions developed by the teams have gone beyond all expectations. Further, the practicalities of the proposals seem to a wide extent operational. We are therefore convinced that this publication may serve as inspiration and support for politicians, advisors and researchers in the further work towards COP15. This is indeed the purpose of this book." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Copenhagen Agreement is a document that delegates at the 15th session of the Conference of Parties (COP 15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to "take note of" at the final plenary on 18 December 2009. The Accord, drafted by, on the one hand, the United States and on the other, in a united position as the BASIC countries (China, India, South Africa, and Brazil), is not legally binding and does not commit countries to agree to a binding successor to the Kyoto Protocol, whose round ended in 2012.
Book Synopsis The Fight for Climate After COVID-19 by : Alice C. Hill
Download or read book The Fight for Climate After COVID-19 written by Alice C. Hill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 draws on the troubled and uneven COVID-19 experience to illustrate the critical need to ramp up resilience rapidly and effectively on a global scale. After years of working alongside public health and resilience experts crafting policy to build both pandemic and climate change preparedness, Alice C. Hill exposes parallels between the underutilized measures that governments should have taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 -- such as early action, cross-border planning, and bolstering emergency preparation -- and the steps leaders can take now to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Through practical analyses of current policy and thoughtful guidance for successful climate adaptation, The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 reveals that, just as our society has transformed itself to meet the challenge of coronavirus, so too will we need to adapt our thinking and our policies to combat the ever-increasing threat of climate change." --

Download or read book Beyond Copenhagen written by Great Britain. Department of Energy and Climate Change and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This plan sets out the Government's belief that the low carbon transformation can be a major driver of economic growth and job creation - in the UK, in Europe and globally. In it the UK Government makes clear that: it wants to build on the strengths of the Kyoto Protocol, and is open to extending that agreement as a way of getting the legal deal needed; it is in favour of strengthening the UN decision making process that was so frustrating at Copenhagen; it is pushing for the EU to increase its plans to cut emissions in line with comparable moves elsewhere, supporting the European Commission's work to identify the practical steps that would be required to implement a 30 per cent reduction target. The Action Plan builds on the Copenhagen Accord, in which countries have put forward actions that, if delivered in full, would see global emissions peak before 2020.

Book Synopsis The road to Copenhagen by : Great Britain: Department of Energy and Climate Change
Download or read book The road to Copenhagen written by Great Britain: Department of Energy and Climate Change and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-06-26 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sets out the Government's approach to the UN climate change conference to be held in Copenhagen in December 2009. Part 1 sets out the evidence for climate change and its consequences. Part 2 describes priorities for Copenhagen. The over-riding goal of the conference must be an agreement to limit climate change to an increase in global average temperature of 2 degrees C, which means reducing global emissions by at least 50 per cent on 1990 levels by 2050. Measures must be put in place now to ensure that emissions start to fall within the next decade. Developed countries must lead, with an 80 per cent reduction in emissions by 2050. Developing countries will need to take action to put themselves on a low carbon development pathway. The agreement must address all major sources of emission, including aviation, shipping and deforestation. Tackling deforestation is vital and the Government wants at least a 50 per cent reduction in deforestation by 2020 and a halt to global forest loss by 2030. The development of a carbon market would encourage efficient emissions reduction and provide large flows of money to support developing countries. The poorest and most vulnerable countries must get financial support to help adaptation to climate change and creating the financial means of support is a priority. Developing and deploying technology to tackle causes and effects of climate change is essential. The agreement must be legally binding with robust monitoring, reporting and verification arrangements. International institutions - either reformed or expanded existing ones or newly-created bodies - must be capable of implementing a deal quickly and at sufficient scale. The paper concludes with a description of action being taken in the UK to contribute to the global effort.
Book Synopsis International Climate Change Law by : Daniel Bodansky
Download or read book International Climate Change Law written by Daniel Bodansky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-08 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis The Global Development Of Policy Regimes To Combat Climate Change by : Alex Bowen
Download or read book The Global Development Of Policy Regimes To Combat Climate Change written by Alex Bowen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2015 will be a landmark year for international climate change negotiations. Governments have agreed to adopt a universal legal agreement on climate change at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris in 2015. The agreement will come into force no later than 2020.This book focuses on the prospects for global agreement, how to encourage compliance with any such agreement and perspectives of key players in the negotiations — the United States, India, China, and the EU. It finds that there is strong commitment to the established UN institutions and processes within which the search for further agreed actions will occur. There are already a myriad of local and regional policies that are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build mutual confidence. However, the chapters in the book also highlight potential areas of discord. For instance, varying interpretations of the “common but differentiated responsibilities” of developing countries, agreed as part of the UNFCCC, could be a major sticking point for negotiators. When combined with other issues, such as the choice of consumption or production as the basis for mitigation commitments, the appropriate time frame and base date for their measurement and whether level or intensity commitments are to be negotiated, the challenges that need to be overcome are considerable. The authors bring to bear insights from economics, public finance and game theory.

Book Synopsis Climate Change and the Law by : Chris Wold
Download or read book Climate Change and the Law written by Chris Wold and published by . This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 1268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively assesses the law and science of climate change, as well as the policy choices for responding to this global problem. Given the all-encompassing reach of climate change, Climate Change and the Law allows students to study how the many different areas of law-public international law, public administrative law, federal environmental law, state and municipal regulations, and the common law-can be implicated in addressing a major social issue. This textbook thus provides students with an integrated experience to study law and an understanding of the many climate-related challenges facing the next generation of lawyers. The book begins by exploring the international climate change regime, including a detailed investigation of emissions trading and the controversial regime for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through land use and forest management practices. It also explores options for a future international agreement in light of calls to reduce emissions by as much as 80 percent. The book also addresses how other international agreements can help spur climate change mitigation or adaptation, exploring, for example, whether petitions to list World Heritage Sites as endangered due to climate change and petitions to declare climate change a violation of human rights will advance global efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions. The second edition of Climate Change and the Law has been updated to include the following: The updated scientific findings, including information from the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The decisions of the Parties to adopt a second commitment period to the Kyoto Protocol. A discussion of the new rules for accounting emissions from forests and land use change under the Kyoto Protocol. An update on the climate negotiations after the Copenhagen Accord, including negotiation of and implementation of the Cancun Agreements. The state of play with regard to negotiations to build a new climate regime to take effect in 2020. A focus on short-lived climate forcers such as methane and HFCs in a range of multilateral forums, including the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Arctic Council. An expanded treatment of adaptation, particularly at the federal level in the United States. A discussion of the U.S. EPA's efforts to value the social cost of carbon. An updated overview of the U.S. approach to climate change since the 1970s. An expansive discussion of the U.S. EPA's regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, including regulations and case law related to vehicle emissions and stationary source emissions. A discussion of revisions to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and Renewable Fuels Standards. A reorganized discussion of energy policy, with a focus on renewable portfolio standards, net metering, feed-in tariffs, and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). New information about states' implementation of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and California's preliminary experience with its cap-and-trade program. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.

Download or read book Climate Change written by Reed Karaim and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delegates from around the globe arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the U.N. Climate Change Conference in December hoping to forge a significant agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and temper climate change. But despite years of diplomatic preparation, two weeks of intense negotiations and the clamor for action from thousands of protesters outside the meeting, the conferees adopted no official treaty. Instead, a three-page accord cobbled together on the final night by President Barack Obama and the leaders of China, India, Brazil and South Africa established only broad, nonbinding goals and postponed tough decisions. Yet defenders of the accord praised it for requiring greater accountability from emerging economies such as China, protecting forests and committing billions in aid to help poorer nations. But the key question remains: Will the accord help U.N. efforts to forge a legally binding climate change treaty for the world's nations?
Download or read book Cool It written by Bjorn Lomborg and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and staggeringly expensive actions now being considered to meet the challenges of global warming ultimately will have little impact on the world’s temperature. He suggests that rather than focusing on ineffective solutions that will cost us trillions of dollars over the coming decades, we should be looking for smarter, more cost-effective approaches (such as massively increasing our commitment to green energy R&D) that will allow us to deal not only with climate change but also with other pressing global concerns, such as malaria and HIV/AIDS. And he considers why and how this debate has fostered an atmosphere in which dissenters are immediately demonized.

Book Synopsis The Paris Agreement on Climate Change by : Daniel Klein
Download or read book The Paris Agreement on Climate Change written by Daniel Klein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important climate agreement in history, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change represents the commitment of the nations of the world to address and curb climate change. Signed in December 2015, it entered into force on 4th November 2016. Countries are moving into implementation, and efforts at all levels will be needed to fulfill its ambitious goals. The Paris Climate Agreement: Commentary and Analysis combines a comprehensive legal appraisal and critique of the new Agreement with a practical and structured commentary to and social drivers behind it, providing an overview of the pre-existing regime, and tracking the history of the negotiations. It examines the evolution of key concepts such as common but differentiated responsibilities, and analyses the legal form of the Agreement and the nature of its provisions. Part II comprises individual chapters on each Article of the Agreement, with detailed commentary of the provisions which highlights central aspects from the negotiating history and the legal nature of the obligations. It describes the institutional arrangements and considerations for national implementation, providing practical advice and prospects for future development. Part III reflects on the Paris Agreement as a whole: its strengths and weaknesses, its potential for further development, and its relationship with other areas of public international law and governance. The book is an invaluable resource for academics and practitioners, policy makers, and actors in the private sector and civil society, as they negotiate the implementation of the Agreement in domestic law and policy.
