Infos

Law in a Changing World explores how climate change is reshaping the law, drawing on contributions from legal scholars across diverse fields. The book examines how climate change impacts areas such as governance, justice, housing, and disability law. Rather than focusing on climate law alone, the chapters explore how climate change is challenging foundational legal concepts and demanding adaptations across various sectors.The authors consider the roles of international, Indigenous, and domestic legal systems in addressing climate-related issues. Topics include climate justice for vulnerable populations, the role of government in crisis management, and the intersection of law with emerging challenges like housing and disability rights. Law in a Changing World provides a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary examination of how legal frameworks can respond to climate-related emergencies and injustices, offering fresh perspectives on the role of law in a warming world. It is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of law, policy, and climate change.
