Synopsis

This book examines the emerging field of climate litigation in China, proposing a comprehensive legal framework to address climate change and support the country’s “dual carbon” goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Although the concept of climate litigation is not yet fully established in China, this research emphasizes the importance of localizing climate litigation to create a robust system that aligns with international environmental law standards. The study draws on global experiences, including practices in the U.S., Europe, and Hong Kong, highlighting the need for a multi-level legal framework that integrates both mitigation and adaptation measures. The proposed system seeks to address China’s domestic climate challenges while contributing to global climate justice efforts. By incorporating rights and obligations into the legal system, the book presents innovative solutions for holding both government and corporations accountable for their roles in climate change. This research aims to enhance China’s legal capacity to manage climate risks, foster sustainable development, and support international climate commitments. The proposed framework not only serves China’s needs but also provides valuable insights for other nations pursuing climate justice.
