This book provides an

excellent overview of the legal issues surrounding climate change mitigation

and international trade law. It surveys key observed and potential challenges

posed by responses to climate change in terms of international trade law. By examining

the controversial issues seen in legal cases in which domestic climate change

or renewable energy measures conflicted with international trade regimes, this

volume promotes and broadens the understanding and debate of the issues. Beyond

the recognized challenges, this book uncovers potential areas of conflict

between climate change responses and international trade promotion by exploring

previous cases and current efforts to prevent climate change. Furthermore, this

volume sheds light on the future direction of international trade law and

climate change responses, pointing out that the development of climate change

or renewable energy laws and policies must also consider international trade

regimes in order to ensure the smooth implementation of said laws and policies

and guarantee that international trade laws do not restrict environmental

policy space.
