520 Crucial Issues in Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol:
Asia and the World focuses on responses to climate change
in the world's most populous region. This book provides
the most comprehensive insight to the climate change
discourse within Asia to date by drawing on the diverse
disciplines and experience of legal practitioners, climate
change consultants, government officials and academics.
Individual chapters address issues such as how the various
Asian countries - highly disparate in their cultures,
socio-economic conditions and political systems - are
responding to climate change, the challenges of mitigating
and adapting to climate change, and the effective
implementation of the Kyoto Protocol in Asia. Sample
