Abstract
With over 2,500 climate-related cases filed worldwide, climate litigation is rapidly evolving but lacks a comprehensive resource for guiding judicial approaches. The Cambridge Handbook on Climate Litigation fills this void, offering an authoritative guide to climate litigation's complex landscape. Judges, lawyers and scholars will find insights into how courts globally have addressed recurring issues, from causation to human rights impacts. Building on the rich transnational judicial dialogue already occurring within climate litigation, the Handbook distills emerging best practices with an eye towards the progressive development of the field. Its unique focus on replicable strategies in case law makes it a strategic resource for shaping the future of climate litigation.
