This book is available digitally as an Open Access resource at
www.boomdenhaag.nl. Click here to access the content. In June 2020,
the research center for climate law ClimLaw: Graz was officially
opened at the University of Graz, Austria. As part of the festive
opening, distinguished members of the Scientific Board of ClimLaw:
Graz and PhD students specialising in climate law gave
presentations on current opportunities and challenges in climate
law. This volume assembles the essays and provides a testimony of
the official launch of ClimLaw: Graz. Climate change presents one
of the greatest challenges of our time and calls for legal,
interdisciplinary and coordinated responses. This volume offers a
glimpse into the diverse and pressing issues of climate law subject
to ongoing research at ClimLaw: Graz. Current developments in
climate law are critically observed and analysed from the national,
EU and global perspective in steady dialogue with other
disciplines. In doing so, ClimLaw: Graz is envisaged to become a
nationally and internationally connected research, teaching and
networking platform. For interested readers, this book offers
insight into selected aspects of the current legal debate on
climate change and climate protection.
