About The Call for Book Chapters

The Department of Environmental Law and Legal Order is pleased to announce a Call for Book Chapters titled “The Global Energy Shift in Climate Change: Challenges and Prospects”. This scholarly initiative seeks to bring together industry researchers, academic scholars, and law practitioners to address the legal and policy challenges associated with climate change and energy demands. This call for book chapters presents a unique platform for authors to share their governance, legal frameworks, and sustainable strategies to mitigate the pressing climate change and energy crisis.

This endeavour by TNDALU seeks to expand the existing literature on understanding the various dimensions of climate change and energy laws, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and encouraging actionable strategies for environmental conservation. The edited volume aspires to bridge the gap between industry experts, academics, policymakers, and community stakeholders, facilitating knowledge exchange and promoting sustainable approaches for creating resilient habitats. This edited volume aims to facilitate scholarly discourse on the evolving legal principles, the impact of socio-economic transformations, and the need for legal reform to address emerging global concerns due to festering climate change and energy crisis.

The edited volume invites original, well-researched, and contemporary chapters, fostering a comprehensive dialogue on the challenges and possibilities surrounding climate change and energy law. It also aims to support policymakers in developing robust and effective frameworks for legal reform, establishing itself as an indispensable resource for scholars, legal practitioners, and policymakers engaged in the field of environmental law, climate response, and energy crisis.

This edited volume consists of an expert review committee from a multidisciplinary academic background and a well-equipped editorial team ensuring the quality of work meets global standards and is the first of its kind, tackling pressing issues relating to climate change and energy laws. Therefore, we invite you to be a part of this transformative project, where your contributions can shape the legal landscape for a greener, more resilient, and equitable future.
