Description
Renewable Energy Law by Olivia Woolley provides a clear understanding of law's role in promoting global renewable energy growth. The book explores main legal frameworks shaping renewables at international, regional and national levels, including those setting targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing consumption. Readers will gain insight into the challenges confronting renewable developments and the legal responses to them, as well as how international law on climate change and sustainable development affects renewable energy. Topics covered include renewable energy targets and subsidies, integrating renewables into electricity networks, public opposition to renewable energy development, offshore renewables, and decarbonisation of road transport. This authoritative textbook is written by a leading researcher in energy and environmental law, making it an accessible resource for those new to the subject as well as experienced professionals.
