Climate Law and Litigation by Carbon & Climate Law Review: Submit Abstract by 15th September!

About CCLR

As climate policies evolve around the globe, attention is shifting 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, anchor 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.
