The Climate Change Deskbook is a comprehensive guide and reference to the law of climate change. The first section of the deskbook is an in-depth analysis of the laws, regulations, and policies that shape our increasingly carbon-constrained world. Readers benefit from the perspective of attorneys with collectively well over one hundred years of experience practicing in environmental law to understand how the fast-moving pieces of the climate change puzzle fit together. The second section of the Deskbook provides those reference materials that you need at your fingertips to help answer your climate questions.

“For a foreign official, understanding the complexities of environmental law generally, and climate change in particular, within the U.S. system can be daunting. This book provides a great foundation for understanding existing and emerging legal issues. It is lucid and well-organized, making it a practical and approachable deskbook. But it also provides the context necessary to tie the various regional, national and international threads of the climate change blanket together into a recognizable whole. Tom and his colleagues have done a great service in making this book available at a critical point in our collective work to address climate change."

Jason Tolland,, counsellor and program manager, Environment and Energy, Embassy of Canada


"Tom Mounteer has written a readable, clear book on a complex, complicated subject. I hardly expected to find a book on climate change law written in an accessible, conversational style, but with sufficient details and sources to satisfy the most diligent researchers. This is not "Climate Change for Dummies" but the book is so well organized and well written that it will be useful to experts and neophytes alike. It is not easy to capture an evolving area of law in a single treatise, but this book presents its explanation of climate change law securely in the context of past, present and expected actions."
