‘This book does much to shape understanding of the serious debates being had, and to be had, about global responses to climate change and is worthy of its place in any decent international law, international politics or climate change collection.’

- Gary Wilson, Liverpool Law Review,

‘In sum, the book is a remarkable contribution to the debate about the UN Security Council’s potential engagement in global climate governance. It demonstrates the legal authority of the Council, the range of available policy options in the area of climate change, and related legitimacy, representativeness, and effectiveness challenges.’

- Lisa M. Dellmuth, Carbon & Climate Law Review,

‘Shirley Scott and Charlotte Ku have assembled a team of longstanding UN observers, primarily from the fields of international law and international relations. The result is a useful and accessible portrait of the Security Council’s powers, tendencies and limitations.'
