The Global Future of Energy Law: 2017 Review

摘要

As the world heads towards an unknown energy future it is important to consider the legal boundaries of the energy sector. More often than not energy law has been forgotten in the debate around the energy transition and climate change scenarios that list years such as 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050 and even 2050. This article in part seeks to rectify this and differs from past energy law literature on this topic that involves an inward-outward perspective. The perspective here is outward-inward, meaning that an external view on the energy sector is taken-that is from an energy data-driven perspective and utilising energy data from the Bloomberg New Energy Finance from 2016 and 2017.
