'The book brings together scholars from all over the world to address issues of energy governance and sustainability. It provides a unique insight into the nexus between theory, human rights constitutionalism, environmental justice and the practical application of energy policy and legislation ranging from energy supply, renewable energy, energy markets and financing to hydraulic fracturing and energy efficiency. The book brings perspectives from the developed and developing world and proposes recommendations on how the energy crisis can be addressed from a legal perspective. Although the book is written from a legal perspective, scholars and practitioners from other disciplines will also find the book insightful.'--Willemien Du Plessis, North-West University, South Africa'The IUCN Academy of Environmental Law has forged a global reputation as one of the leading forums for environmental law scholarship, as exemplified by this important new volume on energy governance. Professors Jaria i Manzano, Chalifour and Kotze have masterfully crafted an internationally diverse and thought-provoking account of the state of energy law and its future reform. For anyone concerned about addressing climate change, this book should be essential reading.' --Benjamin J. Richardson, University of Tasmania, Australia'Energy governance is a problem worldwide. Identification of causes, options and solutions are therefore very welcome. This book does this. It sketches the essential foundations for a sustainable energy governance, illustrated by different experiences and identifying governance gaps which have to be tackled. A job well done by the team of Jaria i Manzano, Chalifour and Kotze.'--Kurt Deketelaere, KU Leuven and Secretary-General, LER
