Description

Product Description The laws that try to reduce climate change are well known. But what about the climate change that is occurring regardless of these efforts? The Law of Adaptation to Climate Change takes a sweeping look at the current and proposed legal aspects of coping with climate change-from drought, extreme precipitation, heat waves, and wild fires to global shifts in temperature, sea level, water and food supply, coastal conditions, infrastructure, ecosystems, and human health and economies. Applicable laws exist at all levels, but are uncoordinated and embody numerous contradictions and inevitable gaps. This book provides a comprehensive resource of laws aimed at increasing resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change. Written by authorities from private practice, government, and academia, this compendium examines the legal aspects of coping with climate change, both in the United States and around the world. Chapters address critical U.S. concerns related to water, energy, building and infrastructure, public lands, coastal issues, species and ecosystem impacts, and disaster preparedness, as well as important international issues such as financing, health, population displacement, maritime jurisdiction, water, and human security. About the Author Michael B. Gerrard is Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice and Director of the Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School and Senior Counsel to Arnold & Porter LLP. He is author or editor of nine other books, two of which were named Best Law Book of the Year by the Association of American Publishers. Among his books are Global Climate Change and U.S. Law (2007), The Law of Green Buildings (2009), and The Law of Clean Energy (2011). Katrina Fischer Kuh is an associate professor specializing in environmental law at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. She writes frequently on environmental subjects, and her articles have been published in the Duke Law Journal and Harvard Environmental Law Review, among others.
