Abate identifies the common vulnerabilities of the voiceless-future generations, wildlife, and natural resources-and demonstrates how the law can evolve to protect their interests. An ideal resource for readers interested in how the law can mitigate the effects of climate change on those who stand to lose the most.
Future generations, wildlife, and natural resources – collectively referred to as 'the voiceless' in this work – are the most vulnerable and least equipped populations to protect themselves from the impacts of global climate change. In this new edition of Climate Change and the Voiceless, Randall S. Abate provides comprehensive analysis of recent landmark strategic litigation to protect vulnerable communities, significant updates on legislative and judicial developments on rights of nature, and a detailed summary of the most important climate change advisory opinions and their implications for the protection of voiceless communities. As in the original work, he identifies the common vulnerabilities of the voiceless in the Anthropocene era and demonstrates how the law can evolve to protect their interests more effectively. This work should be read by anyone interested in how the law can be employed to mitigate the effects of climate change on those who stand to lose the most.

Randall S. Abate has taught domestic and international environmental law courses at six US law schools and one university over the course of three decades. He also has delivered lectures on environmental and animal law in more than twenty countries on six continents. He has published six books and forty articles and book chapters on environmental and animal law topics.
