Intellectual Property and Clean Energy: The Paris Agreement and Climate Justice

This collection considers the future of climate innovation after the Paris Agreement. It analyses the debate over intellectual property and climate change in a range of forums – including the climate talks, the World Trade Organization, and the World Intellectual Property Organization, as well as multilateral institutions dealing with food, health, and biodiversity. It investigates new forums of debate, such as the G20, investor-state dispute settlement, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The book also looks at deadlocks in the debate over intellectual property and climate change, and provides theoretical, policy, and practical solutions to overcome such impasses.
