Brief Synopsis: Climate change has emerged as a new area of legal practice in New Zealand. The recent move to implement significant domestic regulation to combat climate change presents a range of new regulatory and commercial legal issues on which lawyers are being asked to advise. This is particularly the case with the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS), which affects nearly every household and business in New Zealand. At the same time, the impacts and implications of climate change generally present new legal issues.

Title: Environmental and Resource Management Law, 4th edition
Editor-in-Chief: Derek Nolan
ISBN: 9781927149201
Price: $195.50 incl. GST

Brief Synopsis: Environmental and resource management law is a major component of modern legal practice. A key factor in the development of the law was the introduction of two pieces of legislation - the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. Both Acts have been amended frequently since their enactment including the Resource Management (Simplifying and Streamlining) Amendment Act 2009.
New legislation and other central government initiatives continue to affect legal practice in the field, some examples of which include the establishment of an Emissions Trading Scheme and Registry under the Climate Change Response Act 2002, the enactment of the Environmental Protection Authority Act 2011 establishing the EPA as a stand-alone Crown entity with roles under both the RMA and HASNO and the passing of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011.
