Summary: "The impacts of climate change will intensify over the course of the 21st century. There remains a substantial gap between what governments have promised to do and the actions they have undertaken to date. Climate Action Tracker predicts a 1.5°C warming by 2035, a 2°C warming by 2053, and a 3.2°C warming by 2100. Climate change is a critical existential issue that threatens all life forms on this planet. It is, therefore, larger than human rights and will require all hands on deck across all sectors"-- Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

This is the first scholarly examination of climate change litigation in the Asia Pacific region. Bringing legal academics and lawyers from the Global South and Global North together, this book provides rich insights into how litigation can galvanize climate action in countries including Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and China. Written in clear and accessible language, the fourteen chapters in this book shed light on the important question of how litigation may unfold as a potential regulatory pathway towards decarbonization in the world's most populous region.
