Critics Review
Climate Law in Australia is a book that pulls together much of the policy, legislation and case law across jurisdictions in Australia. It provides context to the many developments in climate change policy and law emerging from governments. For local governments that may be impacted by a national emissions trading scheme, it explores the legal considerations of emissions reporting and trading. Local government itself must adapt to climate change impacts and plan for their communities. However, there are liability risks both from taking action and inaction, as explained in this book. As a consent authority, local government needs to consider the way state and Commonwealth legislation is being interpreted in the courts. - Local Government Reporter, Vol 6(7) April 2008
