Details

Through assessing climate disaster law in relation to international, public, private and environmental law this Research Handbook considers the unique challenges, barriers and opportunities that climate disasters pose for law and policy. Scientific and empirical evidence suggests that the laws addressing natural disasters cannot be adequately applied to disasters that are caused by climate change.

Featuring contributions from leading international experts, this Handbook will be a useful resource for those with an interest in environmental law and international policy making.
