The ICJ’s Advisory Opinion on Climate Change
The International Court of Justice’s Advisory Opinion on Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change marks the most consequential development in international climate law since the adoption of the Paris Agreement. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners from across the globe, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical examination of the opinion, exploring its doctrinal foundations, normative implications, and potential to reshape global climate governance.
As with all our Verfassungsbooks, the digital edition is Open Access. A print copy can be ordered at your local bookstore or from major online retailers, with worldwide delivery available.
“The ICJ opinion is the most definitive statement ever made about international law and climate change. However, it is lengthy and complex. In this volume, the editors have assembled some of the world‘s leading scholars in the field to unravel the opinion and probe the subtleties of what it did and didn‘t say.”
- Michael Gerrard, Columbia Law School
“This edited collection compellingly showcases the scholarly potential of academic blogging. Unconstrained by the conventions of journals and traditional edited books, the contributions are creative and intellectually provocative, planting the seeds for years of further research and dialogue.”
- Gleider Hernández, KU Leuven
