Abstract

This book provides a timely and detailed analysis of key climate change cases in domestic courts across the globe, examining the procedural, evidentiary, legal, and strategic dimensions of the complex climate governance landscape. It reveals how, as the threats of climate change grow and as policy fails to respond, individuals and groups have increasingly been turning to national courts to seek relief and clarity through litigation.
