Greenhouse gas concentrations are rapidly increasing and as a result, fundamental economic transitions are needed to limit global warming. This essential book examines the climate and energy policies of selected jurisdictions in Europe and East Asia that have vowed to become carbon neutral.
Climate and Energy Law and Policy in the EU and East Asia provides important analyses of the respective laws and policies of the European Union, China and South Korea, and also touches upon Japan. Accounting for 43% of global CO2 emissions, these jurisdictions are critical for success. While nations share a common goal, the way policy priorities are set, and the ways in which the climate crisis is managed, differ tremendously. Chapters examine different law and policy approaches, constraints and resulting implications for cooperation, thereby contributing to the climate and energy transition discussions and offering much-needed policy insights.
This timely book will be of great interest to researchers, students and scholars focusing on climate and energy law and policy. It will additionally be beneficial for policymakers and government officials seeking to understand changes in energy policy.

Critical Acclaim
‘No matter whether from the perspective of emissions and from that of carbon neutrality, the climate and energy law and policy in the EU and East Asia is vital for global climate governance. The book examines comprehensively and insightfully climate law, energy law, and transition and cooperation respectively in EU and East Asia, which provides a solid foundation and important conclusions for comparing laws and practices in different jurisdictions.’
