The International Climate Change Regime A Guide to Rules, Institutions and Procedures

This book presents a comprehensive, authoritative and independent account of the rules,
institutions and procedures governing the international climate change regime. Its
detailed yet user-friendly description and analysis covers the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, and all decisions taken by the Conference of the
Parties up to 2003, including the landmark Marrakesh Accords. Mitigation commitments,
adaptation, the flexibility mechanisms, reporting and review, compliance, education and
public awareness, technology transfer, financial assistance and climate research are just
some of the areas that are reviewed. The book also explains how the regime works,
including a discussion of its political coalitions, institutional structure, negotiation
process, administrative base, and linkages with other international regimes. In short, this
book is the only current work that covers all areas of the climate change regime in such
depth, yet in such a uniquely accessible and objective way.
