The development of energy law, natural resources law and climate change law in New Zealand is considered over the period from the early 1980s to the early 2020s. The political and economic background of the period is described in order to understand the evolution of these fields of law. Specifically examined are the Māori dimension, oil and gas, mining, electricity, environment and climate change. In respect of legal practice, legal education and research, the particular characteristics of law in these fields is discussed and compared with the equivalents in other countries.

Canada’s historical legal framework for hydrocarbon development persists, creating a ‘carbon energy overhang’ that impedes the transition to a low-carbon economy on which Canadian governments have embarked. As a result, Canada remains a petro-state, the fourth largest global oil producer with the third largest reserves. There have been greenhouse gas emission reduction initiatives, particularly by the federal government, including a national carbon tax (that survived constitutional challenge), renewable energy initiatives, energy transition legislation establishing net zero goals, and a promised cap on oil and gas industry emissions. However, two major barriers remain, notably (1) the national economic importance of the oil and gas industry with its oil sands centrepiece, located mainly in the province of Alberta; and (2) very limited room to cut electricity generation emissions, with over 80 per cent of electricity already produced by renewables and nuclear, and a lack of interprovincial transmission interties with these renewable electricity (mainly hydro)-producing provinces that export large quantities of energy to the United States.

This paper analyses how the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) influenced the opening of the Mexican energy sector, beginning in 1992. It evaluates how the multiplication of legal bodies governing the energy industry calls the attention of scholars to the analysis and systematisation of this novel legal discipline. The survey includes a discussion of the 2013 constitutional energy reform and how international treaties shield this reform, preventing a new constitutional amendment from reversing the opening of the Mexican energy sector. Finally, it emphasises that Mexican energy law is now not separate from international commercial law.

The development experienced by energy law in recent decades is reflected in the 40-year existence of the Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law (JERL). It shows that the inclusion within the legal order of three main established principles of energy law (those of security of supply, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability) is the result of the influence of the dominant energy policies. However, principles of energy law are something different from energy policies incorporated into the legal order, since they are prescriptive principles, which the legal system identifies when dialoguing with the energy system. A core component of energy law is energy regulation applied over those elements of the energy system (mainly networks) when competition does not or cannot exist and, consequently, energy consumers must be particularly protected. In recent years, as the contents of JERL also reflect, there has been a clear ethical turn of lawyers towards energy justice and the need to evaluate the law in the context of its exigencies.

A concerning phenomenon in South Africa’s mines is the huge quantities of waste generated by the mines. The problem is historical in that there was existing land and water contamination from previously generated waste, often from now abandoned mines, of which there are many. But the problem is also current, as mines continue to aggravate concerns about the hazards of mine waste for the health and well-being of people and the environment. South Africa has little arable land and water is scarce. Compromising these resources has implications for food security and access to clean water. There are processes that can ameliorate the harmful effects of mine wastes on environmental safety and food security in South Africa. These processes enable the evaluation of soil and water quality and the extraction of pollutants, such as heavy metals and metalloids, aiming to achieve land and water quality that is suitable for alternative and sustainable use of previously contaminated land and water resources. The implementation of such processes in South Africa relies on a legal framework that provides minimum standards and guidelines for land and water remediation. However, flaws in the legal framework impair functioning in the sector. Poor implementation and compliance with existing laws make matters worse. The effects show on the environment.

This commentary will outline the circumstances leading to the destruction of the Juukan Caves by Rio Tinto in May 2020. Secondly, it explains how the existing complexities of the legal framework designed to protect Indigenous cultural heritage resulted in the “legal” destruction of the Juukan Caves. The third part considers whether this incident may encourage positive changes in the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and resource companies which is reflected in law and governance. Recommendations from an ongoing public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the destruction may begin this process of healing for the impacted Aboriginal community providing some pathways for change.

While lawmakers round the world have struggled, often unsuccessfully, to enact meaningful climate change legislation, litigation-related activity is increasing, and some courts are moving assertedly ahead to deal directly with the threat. This new trend comes after years of limited success by environmentalists to ‘use the courts in their fight to slow the effects of climate change or to hold companies and governments accountable for the crisis’. The trend is underscored by a recent report by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment finding more than 1,000 climate-related cases have been filed since 2015 in comparison to about 800 cases filed between 1986 and 2014. The rise in litigation has been attributed to scientists and climate activists who ‘see the response by governments and corporations to the climate threat [as] weak compared to what is needed’, New York-based Sabin Center for Climate Change Law Fellow Korey Silverman-Roati has said, adding, ‘Litigation is increasingly seen as the only option to fight authorities when they are failing to appropriately address climate change’. And unlike the past when climate change cases were generally unsuccessful, the trend now appears to be changing. According to the Grantham report, in nearly 370 decided cases, outcomes favoured climate change action in 58 per cent, were unfavourable in 32 per cent, and had no clear impact in ten per cent. In particular, the report found an increase in the number of ‘strategic cases’, defined as those
虽然世界各地的立法者都在努力制定有意义的气候变化立法，但往往没有成功，但与诉讼相关的活动正在增加，一些法院正在果断地向前迈进，直接应对这一威胁。这一新趋势是在环保人士“利用法院来减缓气候变化的影响，或让公司和政府为这场危机负责”多年来取得有限成功之后出现的。格兰瑟姆气候变化与环境研究所(Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and The Environment)最近的一份报告强调了这一趋势，该报告发现，自2015年以来，已有1000多起与气候有关的案件被提起，而1986年至2014年期间的案件约为800起。总部位于纽约的萨宾气候变化法律中心研究员科瑞·西尔弗曼-罗亚蒂说，诉讼案件的增多归因于科学家和气候活动人士，他们“认为政府和企业对气候威胁的反应与需要相比软弱无力”，并补充说，“当当局未能妥善应对气候变化时，诉讼越来越被视为对抗当局的唯一选择”。与过去气候变化案例通常不成功的情况不同，现在的趋势似乎正在发生变化。根据格兰瑟姆的报告，在近370个已判决的案例中，58%的结果有利于气候变化行动，32%的结果不利，10%的结果没有明显影响。该报告特别发现，“战略案例”的数量有所增加

Coal dominates China’s energy consumption and causes significant air pollution and carbon emissions. By examining recent policy imperatives of coal sector restructuring, this article unpacks the contradictory policy goals on cutting coal production capacity and mitigating climate change, as well as the challenges to reducing coal consumption. These challenges largely result from the regulatory framework governing China’s electricity sector, which lacks effective mechanisms to reduce coal consumption. By doing so, this article aims to shed some light on the role state-owned enterprises play in the coal sector, or the role they could play, towards climate change mitigation.

The North Indian states of Punjab and Haryana (P&H) are a part of the water-rich Indo-Gangetic river basin. Despite this abundance, both states are on the cusp of a severe water crisis due to groundwater over-extraction. The proliferation of tubewells to support irrigation is responsible for more than 90 per cent of the groundwater extraction in both states. What started as a boon during the Green Revolution has given rise to a host of socio-economic and environmental issues. Overexploitation of groundwater is not a simple problem that the laws can quickly fix. In 2020, both P&H passed legislation to manage their water, including groundwater; however, these legal responses are far from what is required. This article examines the law on groundwater in P&H, focusing on the fallouts of silo-based decision-making where the different facets of water management are left to various authorities resulting in working at cross-purposes and inefficient decision-making. We argue that there is an urgent need to (1) delink groundwater rights from land rights and (2) adopt an integrated resource management strategy if P&H are to utilise their groundwater sustainably.

This article considers international arbitration as a potential forum to adjudicate climate change claims, in the form of commercial and investment arbitrations, the latter sustained by the rise of so-called ‘green’ investment treaties. In doing so, it tracks the rise of domestic legislation and litigation surrounding climate change (using France as an example), to demonstrate how the legal profession has already joined the collaborative effort to address this era-defining issue. This trend is likely to continue and become more globalised in the coming years, positioning international arbitration as an attractive mechanism for better addressing these challenges and resolving climate change disputes.
