Opis

Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and blocking out some incoming solar radiation, are two bold engineering measures that have been proposed to reduce the impacts of climate change. This book focuses on the legal aspects of these kinds of climate engineering, making recommendations for future laws and governance.

Recenzje

'A book that should be read also by non-legal researchers, Climate Engineering and the Law will hopefully spur similar academic exercises, thus ultimately enhancing the collective wisdom desperately needed to turn anthropogenic manipulation of the planet into a shield against climate change, rather than a dreadful double-edged sword for self-destruction.' Matteo Fermeglia, Carbon & Climate Law Review
