Publications
The GNHRE Project on Climate Litigation in the Global South aims to amplify voices from the Global South, organizing workshops and public events and culminating in the publication of articles in dedicated special issues of leading accredited human rights journals, and the publication of chapters and analysis pieces in peer-reviewed edited volumes, as well as possible blog posts on the GNHRE’s website, and other less formal platforms. In the medium term, the project represents an excellent opportunity for Global South scholars to publish their research on climate litigation alongside other Global South scholars. In the longer term, the project hopes to foster cutting-edge international collaboration amongst a network of Global South scholars that focuses on climate change law and litigation and contribute to the ever-increasing corpus of climate change law. Details of publications will be shared here.
