Climate Change before International Courts: A Comparative Study (1) (Routledge Research in International Environmental Law)

Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of environmental law and climate change litigation within international courts, both substantively and procedurally. Climate change litigation is an area of continuous growth and complexity, particularly within international courts and bodies. This book uses a comparative approach, analysing case law from international sources. It focuses on three key areas, namely trends and features, legal grounds for litigation, and legal standing before courts. A concluding comparative chapter highlights the specific shortcomings and potential of each system in dealing with climate change problems, taking stock of fragmentation and unity in international law. The book presents instances in which international courts are applying procedural and substantive law to this disruptive, transnational, and intergenerational legal problem. It addresses gaps in the legal framework and identifies systems which are not fit for purpose.With international contributions from authors of diverse backgrounds, this book will be of interest to researchers in the field of climate change and environmental law, EU and international law, and international court litigation.
