Summary
Summary
Unlocking the Global Warming Toolbox is the first and only book to focus on the key options for designing and implementing equitable and goal-specific carbon regulation. This book is a regulatory toolkit holding the policy and legal implements necessary to shape the carbon future. It showcases the ongoing legal and regulatory issues that will be worked out both in the United States and in international programs for years, and highlights the lasting issues related to crafting successful carbon control. Unlocking the Global Warming Toolbox is a must-have for those who would regulate carbon and those who would be subject to that regulation--policymakers, regulators, industry, nongovernmental organizations, and consumers.
Author Notes
Steven Ferrey is a professor of energy and contract law at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, and in 2003 was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School. His experience includes working for the World Bank and the United Nations on renewable energy project development in Asia and Africa for more than a decade, concurrent with his teaching assignment. Mr. Ferrey's previously published books include The New Rules: A Guide to Electric Market Regulation (PennWell 2000) and Renewable Power in Developing countries (PennWell 2005). His constantly updated three-volume treatise on energy law, The Law of Independent Power (West 2010), is used around the world as the standard reference on energy law and policy, and his environmental law book, Environmental Law: Examples and Explanations (Aspen, 5th ed. 2010), is widely used in environmental law courses.
