Details

This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive depiction of the various stages, opportunities and challenges of climate change litigation at national and international levels from an innovative practice-oriented perspective.

Bringing together expert authors from a range of legal backgrounds, the Research Handbook features contributions not only from experienced academics researching in the field, but also from strategic planning specialists and legal coordinators for organizations involved in climate-related litigation. It follows the entire journey of climate-related disputes, from an examination of the approaches and decisions made before initiating legal proceedings, through the various procedural and legal hurdles and challenges during proceedings, to an exploration of the post-litigation challenges that may arise. The climate litigation process is also analyzed in the context of different international forums, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), and the World Heritage Convention, among others.

The Research Handbook on Climate Change Litigation is a vital resource for scholars and students in arbitration and dispute resolution, climate change law and environmental law. Practitioners such as judges, lawyers, legal advisers for NGOs and public servants in administration will also find this book beneficial.
