Abstract

This article revisits and expands on extant scholarly inquiries into the so-called ‘rights turn’ in climate litigation, with the objective of providing a more comprehensive appreciation of the role of human rights litigation in the context of the climate emergency. We rely on well-established categories used in the literature on climate litigation and on human rights and the environment to provide the first systematic analysis of rights-based litigation that aligns with climate objectives. Building on this basis, we consider the significant data and knowledge gaps concerning human rights litigation that does not align with climate objectives. We flag the need to better understand the role of rights-based litigation in the context of the complex societal changes associated with a just transition towards net zero emissions. The article contributes to scholarly inquiry into this new and increasingly prominent area at the intersection of human rights and environmental law, highlighting knowledge gaps that deserve further investigation, both from an academic and from a policy and practice perspective. * Email: Annalisa.savaresi@uef.fi. ** Email: J.Setzer@lse.ac.uk.

气候紧急情况下基于权利的诉讼:绘制景观和新的知识前沿
本文回顾并扩展了对气候诉讼中所谓“权利转向”的现有学术调查,目的是更全面地了解人权诉讼在气候紧急情况下的作用。我们依靠气候诉讼以及人权与环境文献中使用的既定类别,首次对符合气候目标的基于权利的诉讼进行系统分析。在此基础上,我们考虑到与气候目标不一致的人权诉讼方面的重大数据和知识差距。我们强调,在与向净零排放的公正过渡相关的复杂社会变化背景下,有必要更好地理解基于权利的诉讼的作用。这篇文章有助于对人权法和环境法交叉点这一新的、日益突出的领域进行学术调查,强调了从学术角度以及政策和实践角度需要进一步调查的知识差距。*电子邮件:Annalisa.savaresi@uef.fi.**电子邮件:J.Setzer@lse.ac.uk.作者感谢Gwenyth Wren在这篇文章的编写过程中提供的宝贵研究帮助。他们还感谢Catherine Higham、Josh Gellers、Pau de Vilchez Moragues、Dennis van Berkel、Lisa Vanhala和两位匿名审稿人对早期草案的评论。Joana Setzer感谢伦敦经济学院格兰瑟姆气候变化与环境研究所和ESRC气候变化经济与政策中心(CCCEP)的支持(参考ES/R09708/1)。通常的免责声明适用。

期刊介绍: The relationship between human rights and the environment is fascinating, uneasy and increasingly urgent. This international journal provides a strategic academic forum for an extended interdisciplinary and multi-layered conversation that explores emergent possibilities, existing tensions, and multiple implications of entanglements between human and non-human forms of liveliness. We invite critical engagements on these themes, especially as refracted through human rights and environmental law, politics, policy-making and community level activisms.
