| Summary, etc |
The editors (law professors from York U. and the U. of Ottawa, Canada) present 16 papers from a September 2008 conference examining legal aspects of climate change and climate change mitigation in developing countries. Topics addressed include state responsibility for damage caused by climate change, climate change and Indian constitutional rights, justice for climate refugees within the international legal system, regional and local strategies for indigenous peoples in the South Pacific, climate agreement mechanisms that will allow for adaptation to new scientific developments (such as better understanding of bio-sequestration), legal mechanisms for balancing economic efficiency versus sustainability and environmental integrity in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), policy and legal dimensions of CDM projects in Uganda's forestry sector, the development and regulation of biodiesels in Brazil, the regulation of the voluntary carbon offset market in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, the compatibility of US legislative initiatives and the international trade regime, and lessons for climate change cooperation from the European Union development cooperation policy. |
