Promoting Renewable Energy

‘Alessandro Monti’s Promoting Renewable Energy takes us to the center of the battle to address climate change – the policy push to establish a renewable energy economy. With deep insight and careful analysis of how international trade law intersects with the global climate change regime, Professor Monti lays out a principle of “mutual supportiveness” that might reduce trade disputes related to clean energy and pave the way for success in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Essential reading for trade and climate change policymakers, lawyers, scholars, and all those who care about a sustainable future.’ – Dan Esty, Yale University, US
‘The transition to net zero requires action from all sorts of international institutions, including international trade law. Alessandro Monti’s timely account of trade law’s role in promoting renewable energy offers a rich analysis of the extent to which climate and trade rules can be considered mutually supportive, and offers clear suggestions for reform.’ – Harro van Asselt, University of Eastern Finland Law School, Finland

Alessandro Monti is an Assistant Professor of Energy and Sustainability Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
