About the Book
Climate-Conscious Legal Education: A Transformative Curriculum for a Warming World
This book is a response to the growing urgency of the climate crisis and its profound implications for the legal profession. It argues that climate change must not be confined to environmental law electives but embedded throughout the core curriculum of legal education. As the climate emergency affects all facets of governance, policy, and justice, future lawyers must be trained across disciplines to respond critically and competently. The book advocates for a climate-conscious legal education, where students engage with climate law through foundational subjects like contract, tort, criminal, corporate, property, administrative, and international law. It calls for transformative pedagogical approaches— simulations, moot courts, legal clinics, and policy labs—to prepare students not only as legal professionals but as climate justice advocates. With jurisdictional illustrations from India and the Netherlands, the book bridges insights from the Global South and North. Divided into thematic sections, the book combines legal theory, comparative case law, and experiential learning tools. It offers a blueprint for educators, institutions, and policymakers seeking to restructure legal education for a climate-resilient future.
