Critics Review
‘This is a commendable and engaging work, dealing with a solid and well-chosen set of issues at the cutting edge of inquiry into the Paris Agreement’s relevance and dynamics.’ – Caroline Foster, New Zealand Journal of Environmental Law
‘This is a remarkable work, a unicum, as it is the first comprehensive treatise dealing with the legal and policy aspects of the Paris Agreement. In no less than 20 chapters experts in their domain provide detailed analysis of all aspects of the Agreement. It is a must for anyone working in the area of environmental and climate change policy.’ – Michael Faure, Maastricht University and Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
‘The Paris Agreement is the core legal document addressing one of the world’s greatest existential crises. However, the torrent of rules, commentaries, and other writings trying to implement or interpret it can leave one quite befuddled. This book, with chapters by many of the world’s leading experts on the subject, is like a torchlight in a cave, illuminating many of the obscurities and helping one find a way through.’ – Michael B. Gerrard, Columbia Law School, US
