About the Course:
Climate change is arguably the most widely discussed global environmental crisis in
contemporary times. The emerging scientific proof on anthropogenic climate change and
global warming has significantly shaped, and continues to shape, legal responses. While there
has been crucial progress and developments in terms of legal responses, particularly at the
international level, there are several concerns and challenges from a justice perspective, most
importantly from the point of view of particularly vulnerable countries (eg. Island countries)
and people (eg. workers). In this context, this course aims to provide a critical understanding
of the legal regime on climate change and introduce a justice perspective from the point of
view of the marginalised countries and people. It is part of NLUO’s and SOAS’s initiative to
disseminate awareness about climate change law and related justice issues.
