Description
Climate Change on Trial investigates the emerging role of human rights law in addressing the climate crisis. Cesar Rodriguez-Garavito provides a comprehensive analysis of how litigation strategies can complement traditional climate policy approaches and create meaningful pressure for climate action.
The book examines successful climate cases from around the world, demonstrating how courts have recognized climate change as a human rights violation. Rodriguez-Garavito argues that strategic litigation can hold governments and corporations accountable while mobilizing social movements and shifting public consciousness about climate responsibilities.
As part of the Elements of Sustainability series, this work bridges science, policy, and legal practice to show how judicial systems can accelerate the transition to sustainable practices and protect vulnerable populations most affected by climate impacts.
