'Climate Change: A Guide to Carbon Law and Practice' Released

NEW YORK, NY//September 17, 2008///Billions of Euros of emission rights are now being traded around the world under cap and trade markets. This market looks set to expand significantly over the next few years, with a number of countries considered likely to introduce market-based climate change mitigation measures. In addition, climate change issues are now impacting on a number of other more traditional practice areas for lawyers, including litigation, transactional work and real estate.

‘Climate Change: A Guide to Carbon Law and Practice’, edited by Paul Q Watchman and published by Globe Law and Business, introduces climate change law and describes how it has evolved. Featuring a Preface by HRH The Prince of Wales, the book describes how carbon projects are set up and operated and how the credits from those projects are brought to the market. It also describes the operation of the carbon markets, with an exploration of how the current markets may be expanded to create a global market in the future. Significantly, the book also addresses how climate change issues are impacting on other areas such as corporate transactions, litigation, corporate social responsibility, accountancy and taxation, competition and real estate.

This book provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the current climate change issues facing lawyers and other professionals, including accountants, consultants, bankers and tax advisers. It provides a valuable source of information for those new to this fast-evolving sector through to more experienced climate change professionals.
