Climate change is causing a geological transition, defining a new
era in which the Earth System is configured through human action.
The emergence of a global polity through physical, economic and
social interaction demands a global response to this phenomenon
which cannot be modelled on traditional political and legal
concepts centred around the nation-state. This Research Handbook
explores the implementation of climate constitutionalism on a
global scale, considering both language and substance in order to
design adequate normative patterns for addressing climate change.
Against the narrative of the Anthropocene and its implications for
the law, carefully curated chapters provide a critical approach to
global environmental constitutionalism, analysing the problems of
sustainability and global equity that are so necessarily
intertwined with the causes and consequences of climate change.
Recognising the adaptation and mitigation demands implied by
climate change, this astute Handbook explores how to develop
constitutional discourses and strategies to address these issues,
and thereby tackle the negative effects of climate change whilst
also advancing a more sustainable, equitable and responsible global
society. Timely and engaging, this Research Handbook will prove
vital reading for students and scholars of environmental,
constitutional and administrative law and policy. Climate change
practitioners, policy makers and activists will also find its
insights highly informative. Contributors include: S. Atapattu, S.
