The main objective is to give a new meaning to the study of climate change by bringing together the most recent aspects, including climate litigation, eco-constitutionalism and the environmental rule of law, climate and environmental justice, climate geopolitics and climate governance.The book will be of interest to students, academics, and scholars of climate law and environmental law around the world.

This book critically explores the intersection of corporate activities, regulatory frameworks, and environmental social governance (ESG) issues across key industries, primarily in the Global South.With an emphasis on both environmental and social justice, the book examines how corporate actions impact local communities, ecosystems, and labor standards, and it assesses the effectiveness of ESG principles in mitigating these impacts. Through a series of in-depth case studies spanning Brazil, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco, Mexico, Kenya, Thailand, and Latin America it seeks to contribute a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges of implementing and enforcing ESG standards in contexts often marked by regulatory gaps, economic pressures, and socio-political complexities. Focusing on these countries is imperative because they represent diverse regulatory environments and high-impact industries where ESG issues are particularly urgent.By linking legal analysis with socio-environmental case studies, the book bridges the gap between policy intentions and on-the-ground realities, offering actionable insights for policymakers, academics, and practitioners involved in ESG, environmental law, and sustainable development. In doing so, it contributes to a growing dialogue on equitable governance and sustainable corporate practices, aiming to inspire collaborative, cross-sectoral solutions that enhance justice and sustainability in the Global South.
