About this title

Synopsis

The chapters in this volume provide an interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of the implementation of climate change policies worldwide to assess whether they are meeting the aims set out in the 'Paris Agreement'. The first part compares climate policies employed by the EU, the US, Latin America, Russia, China, the Middle East, and Africa. The second explores ways of improving key regulatory mechanisms to increase the effectiveness of greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation measures. This book argues that the international community should improve the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms from the standpoint of secondary norms through an integrated approach. It is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students of environmental policy and governance, public policy, law and political science, as well as policy makers. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available as Open Access. Check our website - Cambridge Core - for details. (150, 992)
