[T]his volume offers a fresh and vital perspective by turning a focused lens on a country that occupies a paradoxical position in the global climate landscape....This collection edited by Maria Antonia Tigre, Armando Rocha, and Délton Winter de Carvalho brings into view a compelling and often underexplored arena of the global struggle for climate justice and accountability.-Antoine De Spiegeleir, in Human Rights Law Review, Volume 25, Issue 4, December 2025In terms of climate litigation, Brazil is not only the leading country in the Global South, but one of the leading countries in the world. The path-breaking interpretation of the Paris Agreement as a human rights treaty by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court has the potential to reshape litigation globally. Today, climate litigation in Brazil is burgeoning and spawning new legal theories and legal strategies. Yet developments in Brazil remain virtually unknown to most European and American scholars. This book will be an invaluable resource, not only for those scholars, but for lawyers and judges in Brazil, the rest of Latin America, and elsewhere.Dan Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law & Faculty Director, Center for Law, Energy & the Environment, University of California, BerkeleyClimate Change Litigation in Brazil offers a comprehensive examination of the growing field of climate litigation within Brazil, positioning the country as a critical player in the global climate governance landscape. Written by a dream team of Brazilian practitioners and scholars, the book delves into the significant role of Brazil in tackling climate change due to its unique status as both a major greenhouse gas emitter and a custodian of vital ecosystems, like the Amazon rainforest. The book explores Brazil's judicial system's increasing engagement with climate-related cases, focusing on human rights, biodiversity protection, and just transition. By analyzing groundbreaking rulings from Brazilian courts and drawing connections to global trends, this book highlights how legal strategies and court activism in Brazil are shaping national and international climate action efforts. It's an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding how legal systems in the Global South, particularly Brazil, are responding to the urgent challenge of climate change.Joana Setzer, Associate Professorial Research Fellow, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)Brazil is the most biodiverse country in the world. We have an environmentalist Constitution that is mindful of future generations. Nevertheless, we experienced a period of anti-environmental state management from 2019 to 2022, accompanied by an increase in climate litigation. This book on climate litigation in Brazil delves into the Brazilian experience, exploring the potential benefits of judicial action while critically examining the separation of powers and the rights of the most vulnerable people affected by extreme climate events. It offers an excellent opportunity to understand climate litigation in the Global South, with its unique characteristics, and to ensure that the Paris Agreement is strategically implemented through court action.
