International Climate Litigation

Cours-conférence de la Prof. Sandrine Maljean-Dubois (Directrice de recherche CNRS) dans le cours "International Law of the Sea and of the environment" du Prof. Philippe Gautier dans le cadre du Louvain Global College of Law.

With the growing impacts of climate change rise the contemporary challenges of compensation for damages. Questions of responsibility and liability are arising and will continue to arise with increasing urgency, including between States. In this context, it is paramount to clarify the responsibility of States in these matters and, therewith, the risks to which States are exposed. States have sought to avoid litigation by refusing to consider the issue of climate change in terms of their responsibility. International law is rather ill-equipped to handle interstate disputes. This type of litigation could nonetheless be brought before an international jurisdiction.
