Cover von Karen Makuch & Ricardo Pereira: Environmental and Energy Law (ePUB)
Despite bringing prosperity, industrialisation generally leads to
increasing levels of pollution which has a detrimental impact on
the environment. In response, legislation which seeks to control or
prevent such impact has become common. Similarly, climate
change and energy security have become major drivers for the
regulatory regimes that have emerged in the energy field. Given the
global or regional scope of many environmental problems,
international cooperation is often necessary to ensure such
legislation is effective. The EU and the UK have contributed to the
development of the environmental and energy law regimes
currently in force, spanning across international, transnational
and national levels. At the same time, practical responses to
environmental and energy problems have largely been the focus of
engineers, scientists and other technical experts.

Environmental & Energy Law attempts to bridge the
knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve
environmental and/or energy-related objectives and the practical,
scientific and technical considerations applicable to the same
environmental problems. In particular, it attempts to convey a
broad range of topical issues in environmental and energy law, from
climate and energy regulation, technology innovation and transfer,
to pollution control, environmental governance and enforcement. In
addition the book outlines key sector specific legal regimes
(including water, waste and air quality management), focusing on
issues or topics that are particularly relevant to both
environmental and energy lawyers, and engineering, science and
technology-oriented professionals and students. In this vein,
the book guides the reader on some basic practical applications of
the law within scientific, engineering and other practical
settings.

The book will be useful to all those working or studying in the
environmental or energy arena, including law students, legal
professionals, engineering and science students and professionals.
By adopting a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental and
energy law, the book embraces all readerships and helps to address
the often thorny problem of communication between scientists,
engineers, lawyers and policy-makers.
