Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonisation in Australia

While a number of technologies and other methods are available to achieve radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (most but not all involving energy efficiency, fuel switching, and decarbonised electricity), there are numerous legal impediments to implementing these technologies and methods at the necessary scale and speed. Legal Pathways to Deep Decarbonisation in Australia identifies these impediments and analyses ways to surmount them. Policy makers and lawyers can then pursue these legal pathways and allow clean technology and other methods to achieve their potential.

This title will be a useful resource to government officials, energy industry (both fossil and renewable) executives, and environmental and climate advocates.
