Conceptualizing just transition litigation
Developments, Opportunities, and Complexities in Global South Climate Litigation
This introduction presents a special collection of the Journal of Human Rights Practice, ‘Developments, Opportunities and Complexities in Global South Climate Litigation’. It conceptualizes and problematizes ‘climate litigation’ and the ‘Global South’, and brings together perspectives from a diverse range of scholars and practitioners from the Global South to advance knowledge on how climate litigation in the region has developed in recent years.…
International Recognition of the Right to a Healthy Environment
Although there is still no United Nations treaty on the right to a healthy environment, the recognition of the right by the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council have helped solidify its status as customary international law. The overwhelming recognition of the right at the national and regional levels, and now at the United Nations, evidences greater uniformity and certainty in understanding human rights obligations relating to the…
Competing Perspectives and Dialogue in Climate Change Advisory Opinions
The limited use of dispute settlement mechanisms under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement explains the recent upsurge in requests for advisory opinions on issues specific to climate change to international courts, namely the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. However, it is still unclear how these courts wi…
Climate litigation in Latin America
Climate litigation is a hot topic. Worldwide, jurisdictions are being presented with novel legal cases aiming to address the devastating effects of climate change. Domestic, regional and international courts are facing the challenge, deciding climate-related cases by using a myriad of approaches. Latin America is host to many of these climate litigation cases. Yet, in mainstream climate litigation literature, the role of litigation in Latin Ameri…
The ‘Fair Share’ of Climate Mitigation
Several years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the world is still far from achieving its emission reduction target. Despite the scientific certainty of the devastating effects of climate change on human rights, countries’ ‘nationally determined contributions’ (NDCs) still fall short of the 1.5 °C goal. Compared to developed countries and their historical contributions, the Global South’s role in climate mitigation may appear insignifica…
Transnational Insights for Climate Litigation at the European Court of Human Rights
The global climate crisis is increasingly recognised as an issue of climate injustice, including because it is causing (and worsening) inequalities and human rights violations. Moreover, responsibility for emissions and vulnerability to climate impacts are not evenly distributed. They vary among and within states. In order to tackle these issues of justice both within and among states, litigants have taken to domestic and regional courts to engag…
Indigenous Communities of the Lhaka Honhat (Our Land) Association v. Argentina
On February 6, 2020, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Court) declared in Lhaka Honhat Association v. Argentina that Argentina violated Indigenous groups’ rights to communal property, a healthy environment, cultural identity, food, and water. For the first time in a contentious case, the Court analyzed these rights autonomously based on Article 26 of the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR) and ordered specific restitution measures,…
The 2017 Inter-American Court's Advisory Opinion
The state of our environment is continuously deteriorating, and the frame of the ‘Anthropocene’ calls for transformative laws that respond to the current socio-ecological crisis. Since environmental diplomacy has signally failed to respond to current challenges, courts are being confronted with crucial questions that fundamentally address whether existing legal tools are sufficient to ensure human survival. In 2017, the Inter-American Court of Hu…
Building a regional adaptation strategy for Amazon countries
Cooperation for Climate Mitigation in Amazonia
Since their inception, climate change negotiations have stalled because of the scope of parties' mitigation responsibilities under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The concept of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR-RC) became a core principle of the framework to ensure consensus on a global climate policy in 1992 and to promote differentiation. By letting each country ass…
