Understanding the climate vulnerability and resilience of people with disabilities
This article examines how people with disabilities in the state of Kerala, India experience and respond to the impacts of climate change, drawing on 72 semi-structured interviews with disabled individuals, caregivers, and key stakeholders. Although Kerala has comparatively strong social development indicators and has taken steps toward disability-inclusive climate and disaster planning, our findings reveal persistent social, economic, and institu…

actors and industry lobby groups have concentrated wealth and authority as well as the motivation to resist the passage of laws that would support effective regulation in the broader public interest').In the climate change context, the concept of 'carbon lock-in' was put forward by Unruh, with other researchers distinguishing between 'infrastructure/technological', 'institutional', and 'behavioural' types of lock-in
Negotiating the Anthropocene
Legal mobilization in a global context
Our article offers an in-depth account of the role of the transnational practices of collaboration, storytelling, and learning in the diffusion of rights-based climate litigation (RBCL). Drawing on semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and quantitative data, we trace how the performance of these practices by lawyers, litigants, communities, scholars, and NGOs have fostered and sustained the transnational generation, exchange, and f…
Beyond the Single Story of Climate Vulnerability
Health. Disability. Vulnerability. These words are often used when discussing the risks of climate disruption. These discussions warn of the potential for climate impacts to “undermine 50 years of gains in public health” (as stated by the Lancet Countdown on Climate Change). Increasingly, such discussions also acknowledge climate injustice, examining who will benefit or lose out from climate change, how and why. The embodied vulnerability of disa…

The Intersections of Public Rights and Private Rules
This article systematically evaluates whether, how, and to what extent twelve prominent forestry and fisheries certification schemes address human rights in their standards. In line with the broader cross-fertilization of the fields of international human rights and environmental law and policy, our results demonstrate that human rights norms and considerations - primarily Indigenous, labour, and procedural rights - are increasingly reflected in …
Transnational Environmental Law and the Future
The re-election of United States (US) President Donald Trump in November 2024 has evoked a sense of dj vu.In 2017, a Transnational Environmental Law (TEL) editorial following his initial election expressed deep concerns about potential upheavals in environmental law while highlighting the resilience that polycentric mechanisms might offer in the face of disrupted US environmental policies. 1Since then, scholarly interest in the interplay between …
Climate Governance and Federalism
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 decentra…
Children with Disabilities in Canada during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Children with disabilities were especially vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic, and policies designed to mitigate its effects were limited in addressing their needs. We analyzed Canadian policies related to children with disabilities and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic to identify the extent to which these policies aligned with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) and responded to thei…
Jurisdictional approaches to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in Brazil
Although the role of subnational governments in multi-level climate governance is recognized by scholars and policymakers, we still know little about whether and why some subnational jurisdictions in the Global South decide to engage in decentralized climate action. This article yields new insights on this question by explaining variations in the decision of Brazilian states to establish legal frameworks for jurisdictional REDD+, enabling them to…
Climate Governance and Federalism
When the kids put climate change on trial
Young people are increasingly taking governments to court for their failure to meaningfully abate climate change. They argue that states have a responsibility under domestic and international law to protect, respect and fulfil the rights of children against worsening climate change. Such cases form a unique subset of rights-based climate change litigation due to their emphasis on intergenerational equity. Young people are disproportionately affec…

Realizing the Right to Be Cold? Framing Processes and Outcomes Associated with the Inuit Petition on Human Rights and Global Warming
Our article provides an in-depth analysis of the framing processes and outcomes associated with a petition submitted by Inuit communities in the arctic on the human rights violations caused by climate change before the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights in 2005. Drawing on semi-structured interviews conducted in two different Inuit communities in Canada that have ties to the petition and with lawyers and activists in the transnational clim…
Transnational Legal Process and Discourse in Environmental Governance
Governments in developing countries have adopted policies, laws, and programs to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), with the funding and rules provided by global institutions and transnational actors. The transnational legal process for REDD+, entailing the construction and diffusion of legal norms that govern the pursuit of REDD+, has been driven by discursive struggles over the purposes and requirements o…
The transnational policy process for Redd+ and domestic policy entrepreneurship in developing countries
This article aims to understand the complex relationship between transnational pathways of policy influence and strategies of domestic policy entrepreneurship in the pursuit of REDD+ in developing countries. Since 2007, a complex governance arrangement exerting influence through the provision of international rules, norms, markets, knowledge, and material assistance has supported the diffusion of REDD+ policies around the world. These transnation…
What Difference Does CBDR Make? A Socio-Legal Analysis of the Role of Differentiation in the Transnational Legal Process for Redd
This article offers a socio-legal analysis of the role played by the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) in the development, diffusion, and implementation of jurisdictional REDD+ activities throughout the developing world. It employs a qualitative research method known as process tracing to uncover whether and, if so, to what extent and how actors have used CBDR to support the emergence and effectiveness of the transnat…
Can Rights-Based Approaches Enhance Levels of Legitimacy and Cooperation in Conservation? A Relational Account
Trade Imbalance
International Law and Alterity
This article argues that orthodox international law is committed to the state at the expense of the Other, that which is not the state, and, at a more philosophical level, to ontology at the expense of ethics. Drawing on the philosophy of Emmanuel Lévinas, it seeks a shift from ontology, focusing on Being, to ethics, constituted by our responsibility to the Other. Section 1 argues that international law assumes the natural existence of a Being of…
Terrorism as a War Crime
International humanitarian law (IHL) defines terrorism in a prima facie apolitical manner as acts or threats of violence committed by either States or non-States against certain non-combatants with the primary purpose of terrorizing them. It thus leaves some space for the use of violence by parties to a conflict, all the while holding them to respect certain fundamental principles. This distinctive brand of moral pragmatism is ideally suited to m…
