Climate change presents as the archetypal environmental problem. The scientific reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change state that the stabilisation of emissions in the atmosphere, to avoid the adverse impacts of climate change, requires significant and rapid reductions in 'business as usual' global greenhouse gas emissions. The sheer magnitude of emissions reductions required, within this urgent timeframe, will necessitate an unprecedented level of international and intra-national cooperation and will challenge conventional approaches to the creation and implementation of international and domestic legal regimes. The purpose of this unit is to analyse and evaluate the emerging legal rules and frameworks, both internationally and within Australian, for the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and the minimisation of the adverse impacts of climate change.
