Riassunto:

This timely Research Handbook argues that climate change is, at its core, a problem of infrastructure and that vast amounts of new climate-compatible infrastructure will need to be developed in order to effectively mitigate and adapt to it. The book analyses the frameworks governing such development and the legal tools different countries have used to support, and sometimes hinder, the transition to climate-compatible infrastructure.

Bringing together a diverse array of leading experts, the Research Handbook compares experiences with climate-compatible infrastructure development across countries in the Global North and Global South. Contributors explore a broad range of infrastructure, from the facilities used to produce energy, to roads, railways, airports, and other transportation systems, to the buildings and other facilities that make up cities and enable urban development. The book also discusses a number of cross-cutting issues that are relevant to various climate infrastructure projects, for example, planning, financing and benefit sharing.

The Research Handbook on Climate Change and Infrastructure Law is a vital read for academics, researchers and students of environmental law, constitutional and administrative law and public international law. Policymakers and developers of climate infrastructure projects and their lawyers will also find the book’s theoretical and practical insights interesting.
