Why Choose This Book?

Climate change is increasingly being examined not only as an environmental issue but also as a question of human rights, state responsibility and access to justice. Justice in the Storm examines this intersection through legal principles, landmark cases and the evolving international legal framework. It is particularly useful for lawyers, legal scholars, policymakers, researchers and students working in environmental law, human rights law and public law, especially those interested in climate litigation and the legal protection of vulnerable populations.

About the Book

Justice in the Storm: Climate Law and Human Rights Reform examines the relationship between climate change and human rights law and argues for legal responses to climate change as a rights-based concern. The book discusses landmark decisions including The State of the Netherlands (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy) v Urgenda and Milieudefensie v Royal Dutch Shell plc. It considers the positive obligations of States, intergenerational justice, the extraterritorial responsibilities of wealthy nations, legal remedies and enforcement mechanisms. The work also explores strategies for overcoming political resistance to stronger climate action and the role of courts, governments and international institutions in protecting vulnerable populations.
