Global Climate Change and U.S. Law, Third Edition - Michael B. Gerrard - Bog

The legal landscape around climate change is complex, unstable, and expanding. Scientists continue to publish new findings, policy makers regularly adopt new regulations, and petitioners file new litigation, nationwide and around the world. Hence the need for this third edition. Most of it is completely new, and the few chapters carried over from the second edition have been thoroughly updated. This edition explores the following topics: Overview and Context: Introduction and The Multilateral Climate Regime U.S. Federal Regulation and Litigation: Evolution of U.S. Climate Law and PolicyRegulation of Greenhouse Gases under the Clean Air ActNon-CO2 PollutantsEnvironmental Impact AssessmentClimate JusticeEndangered Species ActClimate-Related Financial Risk Management and DisclosureCivil RemediesRegional, State, and Local Actions: State and Multistate Climate ActionLocal InitiativesEnergy RegulationElectricity Regulation, Markets, and GovernanceLand Use and Transportation Policies Addressing Climate ChangeThe Next Legal FrontiersCarbon Capture and Sequestration and Carbon Dioxide RemovalAgricultureClimate Change and Public Natural ResourcesClimate Adaptation LawU.S. Climate Change Law and Policy: Taking Stock
