<i>'The editors of </i>Climate Law and Developing Countries<i> have brought together a star-studded group of authors with often innovative views on how climate law works (or fails to work) in those countries where it arguably matters more than elsewhere. This volume largely avoids the pitfalls of climate and carbon jargon. It may well succeed in reconnecting the regulatory community to a field of law which has rapidly become the exclusive habitat of banking and finance lawyers. A superb read and reference treasure trove.'</i>

<i>'Global warming is essentially an issue of human rights and justice severely affecting poor countries and indigenous peoples. This book shows why and how climate justice must shape international and domestic climate law. A timely, must-read companion for climate experts and activists, but equally a reminder of how much is left to be learned by negotiators of post-Kyoto agreements.'</i>R>- Klaus Bosselmann, University of Auckland, New Zealand and IUCN Commission on Environmental Law Ethics Specialist Group<p></p>
<i>'The phenomenon of anthropogenic climate change has become of critical importance to all countries. However, while the majority of developing countries contribute the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, they will generally bear the major burden of the social, environmental and economic impacts of climate change imposed upon them by developed countries. This cutting-edge book contains outstanding contributions by scholars from around the world on the need to expand the range of legal and policy mechanisms and strategies required to bridge the gaps between the north and the south to achieve global climate justice.'</i>
