Summary
This is the first textbook to provide a clear understanding of law's
role in promoting the global growth of renewable energy production and
consumption.
The book introduces readers to the main legal
frameworks shaping the rise of renewables at international, regional and
national levels, including those which set targets for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and increasing renewable energy consumption.
Clear
explanations of challenges commonly confronting renewable developments
and the legal responses to them aid readers' understanding whatever
their background. The author, a leading researcher in energy and
environmental law, has drawn on 10 years' experience of developing and
teaching research-led courses on renewable energy law to produce an
authoritative but accessible work.
Readers will come away with a
better understanding of how international law on climate change and
sustainable development affects renewable energy, the roles of renewable
energy targets and subsidies, the laws on integrating renewables into
electricity networks, the legal response to public opposition to
renewable energy development, the law surrounding offshore renewables,
and issues raised by the decarbonisation of road transport.
