Reviews
""A groundbreaking compilation, this book offers a unique blend of theoretical and practical insights on climate litigation in the Global South. With a focus on vulnerabilities and intersectionality, the editors bring together a diverse range of voices to provide a framework for understanding the disproportionate impacts of climate change and the role of courts in addressing them. The book's contributors explore innovative ways litigation can be more responsive to the lived realities of affected communities, and relay novel perspectives and strategies rooted in local contexts. A significant contribution to the field of climate litigation, this volume reshapes how we think about climate justice and legal accountability in a rapidly changing world."" — Michael Burger, Executive Director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia University ""A groundbreaking compilation, this book offers a unique blend of theoretical and practical insights on climate litigation in the Global South.
