Restorative justice

Chapter 103 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Energy Economics, 2025, pp 404-409 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: It has been postulated that the continued use of harmful energy sources exposes the global environment to a catastrophe. Although the international community has, through several legal frameworks, regulated the incidence of the release of greenhouse gases caused by harmful energy, there seems to be a continuous use of such energy, thereby leading to the severe climate change currently experienced globally. Concerning this, this entry examines the concept of restorative justice as a means of curtailing the use of harmful energy. In this regard, the study in this entry adopts a doctrinal method in examining primary and secondary material. It found that, though there are laws in existence to curtail the use of harmful energy, there seems to be inadequate sanctioning and restorative justice against defaulting countries. It therefore concludes and recommends that to effectively curtail the use of harmful energy, restorative justice against defaulting countries needs to be intensified and implemented.
