| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 科際整合法律學研究所 === 98 === The rate of anthropogenic climate change poses unprecedented challenges in scale and magnitude, the significance of global warming and worldwide weather anomalies signal the need to reexamine the current economic activities as the search for new alternative energies continues. Admittedly, biofuels is amongst numerous climate mitigation instruments available, yet because the environmental controversies surrounding biofuels, it makes an interesting case study to explore the dynamic interplay in the international regime. This thesis places the focus on the EU Renewable Energy Directive and biofuels, and examines the possible inconsistency with the WTO regime. This thesis attempt to argue an alternative approach for considering the current international regime as an appropriate forum to advance biofuels, by developing the argument using the example of the EU Renewable Energy Directive, and concludes on a need for a polycentric approach in light of this contemporary concern to establish a greener global environment.
