About this Item

Neuware - This book is the first that provides a comprehensive overview of the law of net zero and nature positive. While the book focuses on England and Wales, it also sets out the wider domestic and international context and relevant law, including the principal domestic and European legislation, in particular the Climate Change Act 2008 and the Environment Act 2021, and how legal obligations in respect of net zero and nature positive translate across different sectors of the economy. The book reflects the fact that climate change is a global phenomenon and that the international legal and policy context give shape to domestic legal obligations. The book considers biodiversity alongside climate change. This is important because human-induced climate change and biodiversity are inextricably linked. Given this interdependency, and the fact that nature itself is often forgotten, the book aims to bring together the legal obligations in respect of both net zero and nature positive so that practitioners, policy-makers and others interested in this area have both objectives in mind as they seek to address these challenges of our generation. The book spans areas including the following: planning and the environment, property, environmental protest, public international law, commercial and financial services, fiscal measures and construction. The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positivewill be an invaluable resource for a wide range of private and public sector actors across the economy including the legal profession (barristers, solicitors, the judiciary, and in-house counsel), the policy sector, non-governmental organizations and academia. The book has a foreword contributed by theRtHon Lord Dyson.

Synopsis

This book is the first that provides a comprehensive overview of the law of net zero and nature positive. While the book focuses on England and Wales, it also sets out the wider domestic and international context and relevant law, including the principal domestic and European legislation, in particular the Climate Change Act 2008 and the Environment Act 2021, and how legal obligations in respect of net zero and nature positive translate across different sectors of the economy.

The book reflects the fact that climate change is a global phenomenon and that the international legal and policy context give shape to domestic legal obligations.

The book considers biodiversity alongside climate change. This is important because human-induced climate change and biodiversity are inextricably linked. Given this interdependency, and the fact that nature itself is often forgotten, the book aims to bring together the legal obligations in respect of both net zero and nature positive so that practitioners, policy-makers and others interested in this area have both objectives in mind as they seek to address these challenges of our generation.

The book spans areas including the following: planning and the environment, property, environmental protest, public international law, commercial and financial services, fiscal measures and construction.

The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive will be an invaluable resource for a wide range of private and public sector actors across the economy including the legal profession (barristers, solicitors, the judiciary, and in-house counsel), the policy sector, non-governmental organizations and academia.

The book has a foreword contributed by the Rt Hon Lord Dyson.
