Over the last decade, the world has increasingly grappled with the
complex linkages emerging between efforts to combat climate change
and to protect human rights around the world. The Paris Climate
Agreement adopted in December 2015 recognized the necessity for
governments to take into consideration their human rights
obligations when taking climate action. However, important gaps
remain in understanding how human rights can be used in practice to
develop and implement effective and equitable solutions to climate
change at multiple levels of governance. This book brings together
leading scholars and practitioners to offer a timely and
comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and challenges for
integrating human rights in diverse areas and forms of global
climate governance. The first half of the book explores how human
rights principles and obligations can be used to reconceive climate
governance and shape responses to particular aspects of climate
change. The second half of the book identifies lessons in the
integration of human rights in climate advocacy and governance and
sets out future directions in this burgeoning domain. Featuring a
diverse range of contributors and case studies, this Handbook will
be an essential resource for students, scholars, practitioners and
policy makers with an interest in climate law and governance, human
rights and international environmental law.

The majority of the world's largest carbon emitters are either
federations or have adopted systems of decentralised governance.
The realisation of the world's climate mitigation objectives
therefore depends in large part on whether and how governments
within federal systems can cooperate to reduce carbon emissions and
catalyse the emergence of low-carbon societies. This volume brings
together leading experts to explore whether federal or
decentralised systems help or hinder efforts to mitigate and adapt
to climate change. It reviews the opportunities and challenges
federalism offers for the development and implementation of climate
mitigation and adaption policies and identifies the conditions that
influence the outcomes of climate governance. Including in-depth
case studies of 14 different jurisdictions, this is an essential
resource for academics, policymakers and practitioners interested
in climate governance, and the best practices for enhancing climate
action. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge
Core.
This book provides a comprehensive socio-legal examination of how
global efforts to fight climate change by reducing carbon emissions
in the forestry sector (known as REDD+) have affected the rights of
indigenous peoples and local communities in developing countries.
Grounded in extensive qualitative empirical research conducted
globally, the book shows that the transnational legal process for
REDD+ has created both serious challenges and unexpected
opportunities for the recognition and protection of indigenous and
community rights. It reveals that the pursuit of REDD+ has resulted
in important variations in how human rights standards are
understood and applied across multiple sites of law in the field of
REDD+, with mixed results for indigenous peoples and local
communities in Indonesia and Tanzania. With its original findings,
rigourous research design, and interdisciplinary analytical
framework, this book will make a valuable contribution to the study
of transnational legal processes in a globalizing world. This title
is also available as Open Access.
Sustainable Development, International Criminal Justice, and Treaty
Implementation provides a serious and timely perspective on the
relationship between two important and dynamic fields of
international law. Comprising chapters written by leading academics
and international lawyers, this book examines how the principles
and practices of international criminal law and sustainable
development can contribute to one another's elaboration,
interpretation and implementation. Chapters in the book discuss the
potential and limitations of international criminalization as a
means for protecting the basic foundations of sustainable
development; the role of existing international crimes in
penalizing serious forms of economic, social, environmental and
cultural harm; the indirect linkages that have developed between
sustainable development and various mechanisms of criminal
accountability and redress; and innovative proposals to broaden the
scope of international criminal justice. With its rigorous and
innovative arguments, this book forms a unique and urgent
contribution to current debates on the future of global justice and
sustainability.
