"This timely collection of essays examines the legal and regulatory dynamics of energy transitions in the context of emerging trends towards decarbonisation and low-carbon energy solutions. The book explores this topic by considering the applicable energy law and policy frameworks in both: highly industrialised and major economies such as the US, EU, China and Australia; resource-rich developing countries such as Nigeria and regions like Southern Africa."
