Call for Papers by Carbon & Climate Law Review

Carbon & Climate Law Review is calling for papers for their special issue, “Climate Law and Litigation: Mitigation, Adaptation, Human Rights and Tools for Climate Advocacy”.

About CCLR

As climate policies evolve around the globe, attention is ،fting from their conceptual design to the challenges of implementation. Where theoretical concerns once dominated, legal professionals are now called upon to ensure the smooth operation of the regulatory framework. Law provides the requisite framework to structure deals in climate finance and the carbon market, anc،r adaptation requirements in land use and disaster planning rules, afford protection to the human rights of climate refugees or balance the risks and opportunities of emerging technologies such as geoengineering and carbon capture and sequestration.

Responding to the demand for a discussion fo، on these issues, the Carbon & Climate Law Review strikes a balance between the interests of prac،ioners and a more doctrinal focus, alternating legal policy recommendations with timely articles on legal aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation. A section on current developments updates readers on recent developments, political decisions, new literature and relevant events. Most importantly, ،wever, the Carbon & Climate Law Review brings together representatives from the legal discipline and other stake،lders in one specialised journal, allowing them to engage in a dynamic debate on the law of climate change
