Navigating Climate Challenges: Legal, Economic, and Regulatory Perspectives

Abstract

Recent years have seen a proliferation of climate litigation cases, from holding international corporations accountable for their adverse environmental impacts to citizens suing states for failed climate policies. This panel provides an overview of the ongoing scholarly work on climate limitations by taking a series of legal, economic and regulatory perspectives. Contributions in this panel include papers which propose a typology of corporate climate litigation, different empirical case studies in specific regulatory contexts (French/Germany), reviews of recent revisions of EU Environmental Law, and more broadly, conceptualizations of climate litigation as tool of democratic contestation.
