Synopsis

Climate change stands as one of the greatest challenges of our time, an urgent and complex global phenomenon that intersects deeply with human rights, governance, economic justice, and environmental sustainability. Its impacts transcend borders, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and exposing deep-rooted inequalities in legal and institutional frameworks. In this context, climate justice has emerged as a vital paradigm that calls for equitable solutions rooted in fairness, inclusivity, and accountability. Climate Justice, Policy Reform, and the Future of Environmental Law critically explores how legal systems, both domestic and international, can address the mounting challenges posed by climate change while ensuring justice and protecting the rights of affected communities. By interrogating the intersections between environmental law, social justice, and public policy, this book provides a rigorous scholarly foundation for legal reforms and innovations that support sustainable, fair, and enforceable climate action. Covering topics such as climate adaptation, environmental crime, and Indigenous rights, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, faculty of higher education institutions, legal scholars, policy analysts and advisors, judges, legal practitioners, regulatory authorities, legislators, postgraduate students, and more.
