Debating Climate Law

What role could or should the law play in dealing with the climate
emergency? In this innovative volume, leading scholars explore
fundamental debates at the frontier of climate change law scholarship.
They address the key areas of scholarly disagreement about what climate
change law is, the legal rules it consists of, and how these rules could
be implemented in the real world. The first eleven topics are debated
by teams of scholars expressing diametrically opposite points of view on
each topic, in traditional debating style; the last seven chapters are
presented as an individual author's own reflection on a topic that
cannot readily be reduced to a binary debate. Each chapter is written in
an accessible and thought-provoking way, emphasizing clear lines of
argumentation. The debating-style format is designed to stimulate
students to think critically and logically about the law and to fire up
debate in and out of class.
