Zusammenfassung:
"Climate change is not just an environmental issue-it is revolutionising law itself. This groundbreaking Handbook reveals how everyday legal frameworks like contracts, property rights, tort obligations, and corporate governance are both fuelling the climate crisis and becoming essential tools for solving it. Leading global scholars from both common law and civil countries examine how courts worldwide are holding companies accountable for climate damage, why traditional legal boundaries are collapsing, and how Indigenous wisdom offers transformative alternatives. From insurance law adapting to extreme weather to bankruptcy courts managing fossil fuel company failures, private law is being fundamentally reimagined. The first comprehensive analysis of climate change's profound impact on the foundations and future of private law, this Handbook is essential reading for understanding how legal systems must evolve to address humanity's greatest challenge" Provided by publisher
