This book is the first that provides a comprehensive overview of the law of net zero and nature positive. While the book focuses on England and Wales, it also sets out the wider domestic and international context and relevant law, including the principal domestic and European legislation, in particular the Climate Change Act 2008 and the Environment Act 2021, and how legal obligations in respect of net zero and nature positive translate across different sectors of the economy. The book reflects the fact that climate change is a global phenomenon and that the international legal and policy context give shape to domestic legal obligations. The book considers biodiversity alongside climate change. This is important because human-induced climate change and biodiversity are inextricably linked. Given this interdependency, and the fact that nature itself is often forgotten, the book aims to bring together the legal obligations in respect of both net zero and nature positive so that practitioners, policy-makers and others interested in this area have both objectives in mind as they seek to address these challenges of our generation. The book spans areas including the following: planning and the environment, property, environmental protest, public international law, commercial and financial services, fiscal measures and construction. The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive will be an invaluable resource for a wide range of private and public sector actors across the economy including the legal profession (barristers, solicitors, the judiciary, and in-house counsel), the policy sector, non-governmental organizations and academia. The book has a foreword contributed by the Rt Hon Lord Dyson. A full contributor list and a table of contents follows below.

Reviews of The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive

“The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive offers a vision of a broader new branch of law, viewed through the lens of two fundamental questions. What contribution does – or could – the law make towards achieving a goal of 'net zero' (having first defined such a goal)? And how might the law also contribute to the preservation and restoration of all aspects of 'the natural world' (first defining what 'nature positive' might mean in a legal context)? … This substantial book is elegantly laid out, handsomely and sturdily designed and admirably presented (with an appropriately azure cover), and with a superbly detailed index. It deserves a wide readership, a long life and regular new editions over time." — Philip Britton, Journal of Planning and Environment Law “The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive, which the publisher states is 'the first [book] that provides a comprehensive overview of the law of net zero and nature positive across England and Wales', is long overdue and much welcomed. … It is an informative and handy reference for both legal and non-legal practitioners, with sufficient technical details to be of use to specialists but also written in generally accessible language to engage and enlighten non-experts. It is, without a doubt, a valuable contribution.” — Simon C.Y. Wong, Journal of International Banking & Financial Law “This book skilfully explains how legal obligations under net-zero and nature-positive laws are now shaping a wide variety of areas of legal practice, tracing the thread across real estate, company, consumer protection and public international laws, among others. As you would expect from its heavyweight editors and an impressive list of contributors, this book is a very significant achievement. It is believed to be the first of its kind to set out the domestic legal framework for the transition to a net-zero and nature-positive future, and it is unashamedly ambitious in its scope. The book’s breadth means that readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of climate risks and climate legal risks across legal practice.” — Rob Biddlecombe, The Law Society Gazette “This must be one of the most striking environmental law books published in the UK for a generation. Striking for its title – surely the first to contain the words ‘net zero and nature positive’ . Striking for its scope – it goes way beyond examination of specialist laws on climate change and nature conservation and includes chapters covering issues such property law and transactions, financial investment, and even climate protest. Striking for the range and expertise of the contributors – some thirty five practicing barristers from one set of London Chambers. The book provides an authoritative analysis of mainstream energy and nature protection laws and policy. But what is especially impressive and distinctive are whole sections covering areas of law such as construction and building ,consumer protection, and corporate responsibility.” — Richard Macrory, International Energy Law Review “The book provides comprehensive and excellent guidance on a new and developing area of practice, which will be invaluable to all construction lawyers.” — Thayananthan Baskaran, Construction Law International

Advance praise for The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive

‘One of the world’s greatest architects has a simple philosophy: “touch the earth lightly". Yet the burden of 8 billion people is anything but, and our collective impact is profound. The Law of Net Zero and Nature Positive brings together an ensemble cast of leading lawyers to share and summarise, with great lucidity, the treaties, statutes, regulations and the common law that apply in the legal environment. By lightening the pressure we bring to bear on our planet, through laws and other measures, we may by degrees improve our atmosphere and the natural world. This fresh, up-to-date book is essential reading for anyone working in this dynamic area of law.’

— Julian Bailey, Partner, Jones Day, and author of Construction Law (4th edition)

‘Controlling climate change and defending the Earth’s ecosystems against the damage which humans are inflicting is now the top priority. Law has a major role in that process. This remarkable book provides a panoptic survey of the relevant legal instruments, both national and international.’

— Sir Rupert Jackson, arbitrator and mediator, formerly judge in charge of the Technology and Construction Court

‘Not many legal textbooks can claim to deal with a subject affecting the future of the world, but this one does, and justifiably so. Its 930 pages cover not only obvious topics such as environmental impact assessments and biodiversity net gain, but others ranging from the Holbeck Hall Hotel to the Law Commission’s 2014 report on investment decisions by pension fund trustees. The authors have produced a comprehensive, readable and jargon-free book. They deserve our thanks and congratulations.’

— Lord Justice Bean, Court of Appeal of England and Wales
