ELI Publishes Standard Reference for Climate Change Law (WASHINGTON, DC) – Now more than ever, climate change law is at the forefront of the global agenda and the Climate Change Deskbook offers environmental professionals an at-the-fingertips resource to this new area of environmental law. The Deskbook was published in June 2009 by the Environmental Law Institute. Divided into two sections, the Deskbook offers in-depth analysis of the laws, regulations, and policies that shape our increasingly carbon constrained world. It also includes reference materials to help readers understand their climate questions. The Deskbook is part of ELI’s comprehensive program to address climate change and energy challenges. Reviews: “The Climate Change Deskbook provides a comprehensive overview of the developments in this field…the book not only surveys the many facets of climate change law, but its numerous references and appendices provide guidance for the reader…this deskbook is an outstanding work.” - Arnold W. Reitze, Professor of Law. “Tom Mounteer has written a readable, clear book on a complex, complicated subject. I hardly expected to find a book on climate change law written in an accessible, conversational style, but with sufficient details and sources to satisfy the most diligent researchers…it is not easy to capture an evolving area of law in a single treatise, but this book presents its explanation of climate change law securely in the context of past, present and expected actions.” – Margaret "Peggy" Strand, Partner, Venable LLP About the Author: Tom Mounteer co-chairs the Environmental Law Practice and is a member of the Sustainability and Global Climate Change Practice at international law firm Paul Hastings. He received his J.D. in 1986 from The George Washington University School of Law, where he is now an adjunct professor within the Masters in Environmental Law Program. To Order:
