Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all is one of the
goals of sustainable development. In order to meet the increasing demand for various forms of energy-whether derived from fossil fuel, nuclear substances, or renewable sources-conservation, equitable use, and efficient management of its usage have gained primacy. Energy Law and Policy provides a constructive understanding of energy law, a relatively new area in the discourse of environmental law. It argues the importance of looking into existing legal imperatives to frame a robust, and comprehensive legal framework on renewable energy at national and international levels.
In this volume, leading energy law experts shed light on crucial aspects of energy law, such as the linkages between energy and sustainable development, energy trade, energy tax, and intellectual property rights in clean energy. Providing a comparative perspective, the book discusses domestic laws of India, China, Mauritius, and Nigeria, and link the legal instruments developed by environmental law to an energy regime where economic motives dominate and differ across nations depending on the availability of their natural resources.
