Title:

Climate Protection Litigation on the Rise

Creator:

Zaręba, Szymon.

Subject:

Climate protection ; Climate change ; Climate policy ; International law

Abstract:

In the last several years, national courts and international institutions have increasingly begun to treat conservative or climate-adverse actions by states as violations of their obligations under international law and human rights. This has been followed by some countries more affected by climate change and engaged in international bodies to put more pressure on Global North states to protect the climate. The sympathetic attitude of international courts towards such complaints may, in the long term, force the need for increased climate ambition or even compensation payments by, among others, Poland.
