Abstract

This analysis examines three recent and ongoing Canadian climate change litigation cases: ENvironnement JEUnesse c Procureur général du Canada, La Rose v Canada and Mathur v Ontario. Consistent with international climate change litigation trends, these cases are youth-led and rights-based and they advance claims for present and future generations. They present apparently conflicting judicial views on the justiciability of climate change claims and on the use of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to advance such claims. We examine these issues. We also analyse the insights the cases offer into the connections between litigants’ procedural choices and early success, either in withstanding a motion to strike, or in obtaining court authorisation to proceed by way of class action.
最近加拿大青年主导和基于权利的气候变化诉讼:调和可诉性、宪章索赔和程序选择
本分析考察了加拿大最近和正在进行的三起气候变化诉讼案件:加拿大环境署与加拿大检察官的 )、La Rose诉加拿大和Mathur诉安大略省。与国际气候变化诉讼趋势一致,这些案件以青年为主导,以权利为基础,并为今世后代提出索赔。对于气候变化诉讼的可诉性,以及是否使用《加拿大权利与自由宪章》来推进这类诉讼,他们提出了明显相互矛盾的司法观点。我们研究这些问题。我们还分析了这些案例提供的见解,以了解诉讼当事人的程序选择与早期成功之间的联系,无论是在抵制罢工动议,还是在获得法院授权以集体诉讼的方式进行诉讼。
