The Transformation of European Climate Litigation

In Spring 2024, the European Court of Human Rights ruled for the first time that inadequate climate mitigation violates human rights. The Court’s landmark rulings have significant implications, ranging from the design of domestic climate laws and questions of standing to international trade issues and the European Union’s climate governance.

Building on a symposium by Verfassungsblog and the Climate Law Blog, this book offers the first comprehensive assessment of the rulings in KlimaSeniorinnen, Duarte Agostinho, and Carême. It explores key innovations, missed opportunities, and the untaken paths in European climate litigation.

“A must-read analysis for anyone interested in these milestone human rights rulings and their broader implications for global climate litigation, climate policy and governance.”
Jacqueline Peel, Melbourne Law School

 

 

“A nuanced and in-depth analysis of how these landmark decisions will shape future litigation across Europe and around the world.”
Margaretha Wewerinke-Singh, University of Amsterdam

 

 

“An unparalleled deep dive into landmark climate rulings of the European Court of Human Rights, providing a nuanced critique of the court’s approach to the rights of future generations, state accountability, and the relevance of the European Convention on Human Rights in climate matters.”
Katrina F. Kuh, Elisabeth Haub School of Law

From the DMCA to the DSA: A Transatlantic Dialogue on Online Platform Regulation and Copyright

On 17 February 2024, the Digital Services Act (DSA) became fully applicable in Europe. The DSA takes a novel regulatory approach to intermediaries by imposing not only liability rules for the (user) content they host and moderate, but also separate due diligence obligations for the provider’s own role and conduct in the design and functioning of their services. This new approach fundamentally reshapes the regulation and liability of platforms in Europe, and promises to have a significant impact in other jurisdictions, like the US, where there are persistent calls for legislative interventions to reign in the power of Big Tech. This book brings together a group of renowned European and American scholars to conduct an academic transatlantic dialogue on the potential benefits and risks of the EU’s new approach.
