"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 edited collection, the result of an international seminar held at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law, Oñati, Spain in 2010, explores the potential legal and criminological consequences of climate change, both domestically and for the international community. A novel feature of the book is the consideration given to the potential synergies between the two disciplinary foci, thus to encourage among legal scholars and criminologists not only an analysis of the consequences of climate change from these perspectives but to bring these fields together to provide a unique, inter-disciplinary exploration of the ways in which climate change does, or could, impact on our societies. Such an inter-disciplinary approach is necessary given that climate change is a multifaceted phenomenon and one which is intimately linked across disciplines. To study this topic from the point of view of a single social science discipline restricts our understanding of the societal consequences of climate change. It is hoped that this edited collection will identify emerging areas of concern, illuminate areas for further research and, most of all, encourage future academic discussion on this most critical of issues

"The last decade has witnessed an increasing focus on the impact of climate change on the enjoyment of human rights. Several international human rights bodies have now recognised the negative implications of climate change for the enjoyment of the rights to life, food, health, housing and self-determination, among others, and regularly call on states to ensure the participation of women, indigenous peoples and other vulnerable groups in climate change-related actions. Yet despite this, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the role of international human rights law in enhancing accountability for actions related to climate change. While accountability is central to human rights law and practice, in the context of climate change it has been undermined by a lack of clarity regarding a series of legal and practical questions. Other pressing questions are the relationship between international human rights law and the UNFCCC regime, and to what extent human rights bodies are competent to deal with cases related to climate change. This book offers a timely and comprehensive analysis of the issues related to accountability for the human rights impact of climate change, drawing on the state responsibility regime."

"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"

Le droit international du climat a conduit les États du monde entier à adopter, depuis les années 2000, des lois portant sur la réduction et l'adaptation aux changements climatiques. Comme résultat de ce phénomène d'internalisation du droit international, des droits et obligations ont été progressivement affirmés au niveau domestique et invoqués par des acteurs très différents devant les tribunaux nationaux : soit pour contester leurs contenus (trop ou pas assez exigeants), soit pour enjoindre à l'État ou ses autorités d'aller plus ou moins loin (selon les requérants) et d'être plus ambitieux dans la planification des objectifs climatiques, ou encore afin d'engager la responsabilité des entreprises polluantes. Depuis, ce contentieux climatique s'est considérablement déployé tout en se diversifiant, d'abord aux États-Unis, mais désormais aussi en Europe et dans le reste du monde. Le procès climatique constitue un ensemble très hétérogène : des recours administratifs à la saisine des instances internationales et régionales, engageant la responsabilité d'une agence régionale ou d'un vaste groupe d'entreprises multinationales, demandant des réparations pour une seule victime ou pour un peuple entier, invoquant des impacts climatiques passés ou la violation des droits des générations futures. Les thématiques traitées dans ces procès sont vastes, abordant aussi bien la réglementation du droit climatique (mesures de réduction des gaz à effet de serre ou des mesures d'adaptation), que du droit de la responsabilité de l'État et de l'entreprise, soit par le droit civil ou le droit administratif. Les argumentaires des requérants mobilisent les notions de common law (Law of torts, Public Trust), les droits fondamentaux, les droits constitutionnels, le droit de l'environnement, mais aussi le droit des investissements, le droit des affaires, et ce à toutes les échelles internationale, régionale, nationale ou locale.Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d'analyser la complexité des procès climatiques mais aussi les enjeux essentiels pour le droit et pour les juridictions soulevés par ce contentieux encore émergent. Il constitue en grande partie des restitutions de certaines communications du premier colloque international sur les contentieux climatiques qui a eu lieu le 3 novembre 2017 à Paris. L'ouvrage est complété de contributions de spécialistes des contentieux climatiques et environnementaux. Il offre un regard croisé d'académiques, chercheurs, praticiens, avocats et juristes des organisations non gouvernementales, et présente une variété de points de vue et d'éléments de langages sur les procès climatiques tant sur le plan formel que substantiel, nécessaire pour appréhender les enjeux complexes
