This book provides the first accessible and in-depth analysis of the UK's complex Climate Change Act framework, presenting the discussion in a clear and interdisciplinary manner designed to open the workings of the challenging framework to a broad audience. It discusses the political 'story' surrounding the framework, and its treatment in scholarly environmental literature; analyses the technical content of the Act; explores the framework's international significance, and its internal 'subnational' dimensions and impact, engaging the UK's devolved jurisdictions of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. This first, much-needed interdisciplinary treatment of the framework is both introductory and analytical in nature and will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and general readers of environmental studies, policy and governance. .EcologyClimatologyEnvironmental policyEnvironmental lawEnvironmental law, InternationalEnergy policyEnergy policyEnvironmental SciencesClimate SciencesEnvironmental PolicyEnvironmental LawInternational Environmental LawEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementEcology.Climatology.Environmental policy.Environmental law.Environmental law, International.Energy policy.Energy policy.Environmental Sciences.Climate Sciences.Environmental Policy.Environmental Law.International Environmental Law.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.363.7387456Muinzer Thomas L.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1057853BOOK9910337702703321Climate and Energy Governance for the UK Low Carbon Transition2495307UNINA
