With Bastiaan Kock. The Hague : Eleven, 2023. Paperback. xviii, 609 pp. (Legal perspectives for global challenges ; 7). Climate change poses tremendous legal challenges. The law is still largely unsettled. Seeing the global consequences of GHG emissions, many enterprises may face litigation before courts in multiple jurisdictions. The outcome of these cases is often hard to predict. It is in the best interest of humankind and the environment to create global obligations, for instance in the form of concrete obligations of States and enterprises, which can be applied by courts around the globe. Using a myriad of legal sources as a basis, this book explores recurring legal features and remedies in the context of climate litigation. It explores the advantages and disadvantages of specific choices, while recognizing that there are often no self-explanatory answers. The lessons drawn are applied to hypothetical future cases. Climate Litigation in a Changing World provides a basis for well-reasoned choices about measures that could, and will likely have to be, effectuated. Taking insufficient measures may give rise to liability. A keen understanding of these issues is vital for legal advisors, investors, NGO's, businesses and prospective lawyers to anticipate future legal developments. With thanks to Bastiaan Kock for his valued contribution and assistance in the creation of this book. Climate Litigation in a Changing World is distinctive and distinguished. Distinctive because there is no other book currently available that has the coverage and content of this book. It makes an innovative and important contribution to the literature on climate law. Distinguished because of its academic excellence. It is a thoughtful and scholarly explication and analysis of the climate change crisis and its legal solutions.
