Steeds meer burgerbewegingen vinden de weg naar de rechter met betrekking tot klimaatgerelateerde zaken. Verschillende rechters, waaronder ook de Belgische rechter, stelden overheden aansprakelijk voor klimaatopwarming. In eerste aanleg beperkte de Belgische rechter zich tot een verklaring voor recht dat de overheid door een tekortschietend klimaatbeleid de algemene zorgvuldigheidsnorm en mensenrechten heeft geschonden. In hoger beroep gaat het hof van beroep te Brussel nog een stap verder. Het hof legt een reductiebevel op aan de Belgische overheden om de CO2-uitstoot op het Belgische grondgebied tegen 2030 met ten minste 55 % te verminderen, ten opzichte van het volume van 1990. Deze remedie blijft echter niet zonder kritiek. Deze masterscriptie onderzoekt welke remedies passend zijn voor de Belgische rechter om te bevelen in het licht van overheidsaansprakelijkheid voor klimaatopwarming. Ter inspiratie analyseert dit onderzoek de remedies die rechters wereldwijd reeds hebben bevolen in klimaatzaken tegen de overheid. Alvorens deze masterscriptie een antwoord formuleert op de (normatieve) onderzoeksvraag, gaat het onderzoek dieper in op twee andere vragen: wat mag de rechter en wat kan de rechter ?

How will future climates be different from today’s world—and what consequences will changes in climate have for societies and their development strategies? This book is a primer on the essential science for grasping the workings of climate change and climate prediction. It is accessible for readers with little to no background in science, with an emphasis on the needs of those studying sustainable development.John C. Mutter gives a just-the-facts overview of how the climate system functions and what we know about why changes occur. He recounts the evolution of climatology from the earliest discoveries about Earth’s climate to present-day predictive capabilities, and clearly presents the scientific basis of fundamental topics such as climate zones, ocean-atmosphere dynamics, and the long-term cycles from glacial to interglacial periods. Mutter also details the mechanisms of climate change and the ways in which human activity affects global climate. He explains the science behind some known consequences of rising temperatures, such as sea level rise, hurricane behavior, and climate variability. The primer discusses how climate predictions are made and examines the sources of uncertainty in forecasting. Climate Change Science is a straightforward and easy-to-read treatment of the fundamental science needed to comprehend one of today’s most important issues.

"Building on the concept of the Anthropocene first proposed by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer, noted environmental historian Carolyn Merchant offers a wide-ranging and accessible exploration of the ways science, technology, and the humanities can create a new and compelling awareness of human impacts on the environment. Focusing on history, art, literature, religion, philosophy, and ethics, Merchant traces key figures and developments in the humanities throughout the Anthropocene era and explores how these disciplines might influence sustainability in the next century"--

"This timely Research Handbook offers an insightful review of how legal systems - whether domestic, international or transnational - can and should adjust to fairly and effectively support loss and damage (L&D) claims in climate change law. International contributors guide readers through a detailed assessment of the history and current state of L&D provisions under the UN climate regime and consider the opportunities to fund L&D claims both within and outside the UN climate system. Split into four parts, the Research Handbook investigates the current legal frameworks for L&D across both public international law and domestic law. Chapters explore foundational issues including equity and justice and give a critical assessment of the current state and potential future evolution of international legal systems. The contributing authors also discuss the challenges faced by different legal systems in dealing effectively and fairly with L&D. Providing a comprehensive overview of this important topic, this Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for climate lawyers and policymakers. It will also be an invaluable read for academics and students researching environmental and climate issues"--

"This ground-breaking volume provides analyses from experts around the globe on the part played by national and international law, through legislation and the courts, in advancing efforts to tackle climate change, and what needs to be done in the future. Published under the auspices of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL), the volume builds on an event convened at BIICL, which brought together academics, legal practitioners and NGO representatives. The volume offers not only the insights from that event, but also additional materials, sollicited to offer the reader a more complete picture of how climate change litigation is evolving in a global perspective, highlighting both opportunities, and constraints. The contributions span a wide range of national jurisdictions with examples from both the Global South and the Global North. In addition, the potentialities and limitations for climate change-related cases at the regional and international levels are addressed, ranging from regional human rights courts and United Nations Treaty Bodies to the International Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization, the International Criminal Court and international arbitration. The volume will be of interest to legal scholars and legal practitioners, policy makers as well as activists and all those who are seeking to achieve change for the better in this field"
