Inhalt:
Climate change and declining fossil fuel reserves make the current energy economy unsustainable. Developing nations aspire to the modern energy economy, yet over half the world's population still lacks access to energy. This volume explores how the law can impede or advance the shift to a significantly different world energy picture.
