Synopsis
The interaction between climate change and trade has grown in prominence in recent years. This Research Handbook contains authoritative original contributions from leading experts working at the interface between climate change and trade rules. Regional as well as international perspectives are taken into account to inform the complex questions that arise and redirect research efforts towards newly emerging issues. The Research Handbook on Climate Change and Trade Law discusses some of the most important challenges regarding conflicting interests at the intersection of trade, climate change and investment. The insightful chapters map from both regional and global perspectives the state of affairs in such diverse areas as: carbon credits and taxes, sustainable standard-setting, and trade in 'green' goods and services. This timely book redefines the interrelationship of trade and climate change for future scholarship and offers specific suggestions for much-needed research in topics such as energy, carbon taxes and credits, food, standardization, and investment. This Research Handbook will be essential reading for researchers and advanced students in international trade and investment law. It will also be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policymakers in this dynamic and highly significant area of law. Contributors include: M. Alder, P. Arnaiz, S. Bigdeli, J. Chaisse, T. Cottier, P. Delimatsis, A. Dimopoulos, F. Fleurke, A. Gourgourinis, A.H. Lim, J. McMahon, S. Melnyk, J. Munro, K. Nadakavukaren Schefer, R. Partain, T. Payosova, V. Pogoretskyy, D. Ramos, E. Reid, M.

This is a fascinating volume in which the complicated relationship between climate change, trade and investment law is analyzed by leading scholars in this domain in an exhaustive manner. A must for anyone interested in the broad relationship between climate change and trade law.' --Michael Faure, Maastricht University and Erasmus School of Law, the Netherlands and Flemish High Council of Environmental Enforcement (VHRM), Brussels, Belgium'This volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the interactions between public international law, trade law, and climate change law. Delimatsis has assembled an amazing collection of essays by leading scholars in Europe, North America, and Asia on key issues such as carbon taxes, border tax adjustments, climate standards and the market, climate services, investment, human rights, energy policy, and the role of climate in regional trade agreements. This Handbook deserves a place the desk of every climate policymaker.' --Steve Charnovitz, George Washington University

'In the wake of the adoption of the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Change Agreement, the world is getting serious about sustainability. Nowhere do the challenges of charting a sustainable future come into sharper focus than at the intersection of trade law and climate change, which makes Panagiotis Delimatsis's Research Handbook on Climate Change and Trade Law critical reading for practitioners and scholars alike.' --Dan Esty, Yale University
