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. . 606 $aEcology 606 $aClimatology 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental law 606 $aEnvironmental law, International 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aEnvironmental Law 606 $aInternational Environmental Law 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental law. 615 0$aEnvironmental law, International. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Law. 615 24$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 676 $a363.7387456 700 $aMuinzer$b Thomas L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01057853 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337702703321 996 $aClimate and Energy Governance for the UK Low Carbon Transition$92495307 997 $aUNINA
