Climate Litigation: It’s Role in Achieving the Rule of International Environmental Law and Climate Justice
摘要
Climate litigation is a crucial tool in the battle against climate change. It plays a major role by compelling states and enterprises to comply with international environmental laws and treaties, thereby strengthening their commitment to addressing climate issues. In addition, focusing on climate issues facilitates the establishment of international environmental law by ensuring compliance with current legislation or advocating for the creation of new legislation. This also enhances understanding of climate difficulties and the imperative for taking action. Climate litigation shows that people are turning more and more to the legal system in order to combat the climate calamity and offers a decisive way to influence the dynamics of tackling climate change. 65 institutions across the globe, including local, appellate, quasi-judicial, national, and international courts, are involved in these judicial actions.
