Recenzje

'This new book by Professor Rosemary Lyster, one of the world's leading authorities on climate change law, significantly advances our understanding … She deftly brings together climate change law and disaster law - two fields with different conceptual foundations and time frames - and shows how they can and must operate together. She does so using an explicit philosophical framework that gives a structure to her argument that goes well beyond merely tactical considerations. The balance of this century - and, many of us fear, far beyond - will be dominated by disasters that are created or worsened by climate change, and a thorough understanding of the current legal tools to prepare, respond and cope, and a set of proposals for how to do all of this far better, as presented by Professor Lyster, could not be more important and timely.'
