Editat de Myriam Gicquello, Melanie Jean Murcott, Emily Websteren Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 feb 2027
Drawing upon the humanities, science of climate change and/or social sciences to identify extra-legal factors that may drive the decision-making processes and outcomes of climate cases, this book uses case studies from different jurisdictions across the globe, addressing climate cases decided or pending in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and Oceania.
In all, the volume will:
- Engage with extra-legal influence to how show judges and arbitrators make their decisions in climate cases, shedding light on the inconsistent responses that climate cases have generated so far
- Challenge assumptions of legal universalism, by recognising differences in how the law works in various
- Inform actors involved in climate litigation (lawyers, judges, arbitrators, disputants), policymakers, and the public about how cases are decided.

Recenzii
This inspiring volume offers a compelling exploration of climate litigation beyond the confines of law, bringing together a rich diversity of voices. The collection is marked by a strong sense of intellectual generosity and shared purpose, reflecting the collaborative spirit in which it was brought together. Its multidisciplinary approach illuminates how legal reasoning intersects with the social, political, and scientific dimensions of climate action, and opens new pathways for deeper scholarly engagement with the complex landscape in which climate litigation operates. It will resonate beyond legal scholarship and be of real value to those engaged in advancing climate justice.
Exemplifying multidisciplinarity at its best, this volume brilliantly illuminates the often-overlooked "extra-legal factors" that remain pivotal to adjudicating climate litigation. The constituent essays are wide-ranging in their geographical scope and disciplinary reach, successfully combining analytical depth with empirical breadth. The editors have curated an essential collection for scholars, legal practitioners, and activists interested in influencing the outcome of adjudication for climate justice.
