Climate Change Litigation: A Tool for the Environmental Rule of Law

Kitabın Açıklaması
Climate change litigation stands as a crucial legal instrument for establishing the environmental rule of law. It compels states and corporations to adequately fulfil their climate-related duties while fostering an informed and engaged public dedicated to climate action. The approach aligns with the sustainable development goals and reinforces the protection of human rights. This book endeavours to analyse the evolving landscape of climate change litigation, which is expanding both in frequency and across diverse jurisdictions, to identify existing gaps, and to explore steps that could enhance the effectiveness of this legal instrument in implementing the environmental rule of law.
