| Summary |
"This book's chapters are illustrative of the overwhelming number of legal issues that climate change creates. Some of the contributions remain directly tied to the text of the IPCC's reports, while other focus on climate change more gnerally. Together, this volume contributes to a constructive and helpful discussion about how to address the climate change challenge."--Back cover. |
