Research Handbook on Climate Change and Infrastructure Law
Edited by Romany M. Webb

‘Climate change poses enormous challenges to the infrastructure underlying our homes, roads and businesses. That same vast infrastructure makes it harder to reduce current emissions and change our climate trajectory. This Research Handbook is an outstanding resource that maps out our current climate and infrastructure laws while highlighting the policies needed to choose our paths ahead.’

Research Handbook on Climate Finance and Investment Law
Edited by Michael Mehling and Harro van Asselt

‘A decade ago, the world agreed to making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low GHG emissions and climate-resilient development. This – third – objective of the Paris Agreement is as crucially important today as it remains challenging. This Handbook, edited by two of the most renowned experts in climate finance and investment law, Michael Mehling and Harro van Asselt, provides both map and compass to navigate this legal field and to explore new horizons – and solutions.’

Climate Adaptation Through Environmental Justice
Comparative Approaches to Enhance the Resilience of Indigenous Peoples and Minority Groups
Jeremy Julian Sarkin

‘In his careful and characteristically meticulous style, Jeremy Sarkin, one of the world’s premier human rights scholars, takes us to the intersection of environmental justice and climate rights. With detailed and in-depth analyses of climate and environmental practice and law in the US, Canada, and South Africa, Sarkin asks us to assess the capacity of law to protect the world’s most vulnerable peoples from this existential threat. This thoroughly researched, yet eminently readable, book provides us with the tools we need to understand the complex and intersectional nature of the problems we face and, hopefully, seek the best course ahead.’

Human Rights and Investment Law for Climate Change
Edited by Beatriz Martinez Romera, Linnéa Nordlander, Alessandro Monti and Jens Elo Rytter

‘Warmest congratulations to Dr Martinez Romera, the co-editors and authors of this timely, thoughtful and challenging volume. In an age when the challenges of climate change have pervaded every facet of our lives, the same is true of its impact on virtually all aspects of legal theory and practice. The links between climate change and human rights are now well understood but investment law remains an enigma – where traditional approaches can, and frequently do, undermine the ability of regimes to make necessary adaptations to change. These perceptive essays on the nexus between climate change/human rights/ investment law are very welcome.’

– David Freestone, visiting scholar, George Washington University Law School and former Deputy General Counsel, The World Bank, Washington D.C, USA
