Covering more than 20 years of case law, and examples from over 30 jurisdictions—both in the Global South and the Global North—the work provides a balanced understanding of the viability of rights claims while also offering hope that they can make a difference to addressing planetary crises through a range of different legal avenues.” Professor Jacqueline Peel, Professor of Law, Melbourne Law School, Director, Melbourne Climate Futures, The University of Melbourne, Australia.
