About the Book

World Climate Change: The Role of International Law and Institutions by Ved Nanda presents a comprehensive examination of global environmental challenges through the lens of international law and governance. Originating from a landmark two-day conference held in 1980 at the University of Denver College of Law, this collection of scholarly papers evaluates the state of global efforts to address and mitigate the impacts of human-induced environmental stress.

With the backdrop of escalating climate concerns, the book delves into the critical role international legal frameworks and institutions play in combating climate change. Through well-researched essays, it addresses pressing topics such as:

• The effectiveness of international environmental agreements

• Legal responses to climate-induced ecological degradation

• The responsibilities of nations and transnational entities in climate governance

• Approaches to mitigation and adaptation in a rapidly changing global ecosystem

The volume serves as both a historical reflection and a foundational reference for ongoing discourse around climate law. It offers valuable insights for environmental lawyers, policymakers, climate activists, researchers, and students of international law.

This book remains highly relevant in today’s era of climate urgency, as it highlights the intersection between law, policy, and sustainable global development, encouraging the advancement of effective international cooperation for environmental preservation.
