This book provides a comprehensive analysis of environmental law and climate change litigation within international courts, both substantively and procedurally. Climate change litigation is an area of continuous growth and complexity, particularly within international courts and bodies. This book uses a comparative approach, analysing case law from international sources. It focuses on three key areas, namely trends and features, legal grounds for litigation, and legal standing before courts. A concluding comparative chapter highlights the specific shortcomings and potential of each system in dealing with climate change problems, taking stock of fragmentation and unity in international law. The book presents instances in which international courts are applying procedural and substantive law to this disruptive, transnational, and intergenerational legal problem. It addresses gaps in the legal framework and identifies systems which are not fit for purpose.With international contributions from authors of diverse backgrounds, this book will be of interest to researchers in the field of climate change and environmental law, EU and international law, and international court litigation.

This book examines the status of private actors as subjects of law under the rules of the international law of the sea. Providing a methodology for the notion of a single legal personality, it provides a clear understanding of membership in international law in order to establish to what extent private actors can be rights-holders or duty-bearers. It does this by taking a theoretical perspective which allows the reader to interpret their relevance in international law. This unique and innovative work makes a significant contribution to the current scholarly debates on private actors in international law.
