Book synopsis

The issue of tortious liability for harm caused by climate change has risen tosome prominence in recent legal literature. However, except for a few US cases, litigation in this area remains dormant in most jurisdictions. Now, in anticipationof the likelihood - and desirability - of such litigation, this groundbreaking studyexamines the extent to which a claim brought by a private, public, or quasi-publicclaimant against a private defendant (such as a producer of fossil fuels or majoremitter of greenhouse gases) alleging climate change-related damage, and basedon one or more causes of action under the English law of torts, can be pursued inthe English Courts.
