Abstract
Global Energy Justice: Law and Policy, is a comprehensive yet succinct introduction to the ways that law and policy can address the interlocking problems of energy access and poverty. Written by Lakshman Guruswamy, the book examines the plight of the nearly 3 billion people who lack access to modern energy for cooking, heating, lighting, sanitation, transportation and basic mechanical power. Sweeping in its coverage, the book provides a thorough analysis of energy poverty, practical solutions, and important tools for incorporating energy justice into national and international legal frameworks. The book serves as a valuable primer on global energy justice and an excellent resource for faculty eager to introduce energy justice into their courses.
