Climate Change ― International Law and Global Governance; Policy, Diplomacy and Governance in a Changing Environment

This two volume study systematically addresses both international climate change law and global climate change governance. It deals with international law and the multiple regulatory regimes which reflect fragmentation in the absence of a universal climate change regime. International climate change law, global climate governance, and diplomacy are interrelated and extremely complex, and each volume explores these areas from a variety of doctrinal, transdisciplinary, and thematic perspectives. *** Volume I [ISBN 978 3 8329 7797 9] assesses the most pressing impacts of climate change on various international law regimes. The main focus lies on: international climate change law as a new international law discipline * climate change and human rights * climate change, international trade, and investment law * the law of the sea and sea level rise * judicial review and international climate change litigation. *** Volume II [ISBN 978 3 8329 7796 2] reflects on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the most pressing impacts of climate change on international diplomacy and global governance. This is highlighted from various transdisciplinary and geopolitical perspectives with a special focus on the challenge of strengthening national and international climate change policy, sustainable development, and increasing equity around the world, which goes beyond the capacity of national governments. Various international climate change cooperation and protection efforts are analyzed in the context of global security, climate-induced migration movements, adaptation, and the loss and damage debate.
