This book provides researchers, policy-makers with legal and other pathways to deep decarbonisation across Australia and other economies to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions by 2030 and beyond.

The authors pay particular attention to governmental preferences for technology or other methods to reduce CO₂ emissions. The book addresses the problem of both legal impediments and other policies for a just transition at the necessary scale and speed. The authors identify, and critically analyse potential legal and policy avenues for achieving deep decarbonisation.  The chapters will adopt a clear following methodological approach. This book presents chapters that are innovative in approach and provides a research-based roadmap of current and proposed laws with regulatory approaches and/or policies that will draw on original research, international comparatives to enable Australia and other economies to address a ‘just’ transition to deep decarbonisation.
