Event Details
The Oxford Handbook of Climate Change and Private Law edited by Douglas A. Kysar (Yale) and Ernest Lim (NUS) offers a comprehensive scholarly assessment of the impacts of climate change for private law. It brings together a team of world-leading experts to examine the interface between private law and climate change, including how existing private law can respond to climate change and whether private law itself might be impacted by climate change.
This Handbook joins theory and practice through jurisdictional case studies from Asia, the EU, US, UK and more. It also includes an analysis of emerging issues from artificial intelligence to the horizontal effect of human rights.
This authoritative analysis charts the path toward a new private law, one capable of stewarding and sustaining human relationships within, and with, a world in transition.
