Abstract While climate change litigation in developed countries of the ‘Global North’ is a well-studied phenomenon, relatively few studies focus on climate case law emerging in the Global South, its distinctive characteristics, and the contribution it is making, and may make, to implementation of international climate laws like the Paris Agreement. The purpose of this book is to shed light on emerging and accelerating climate litigation in Global South developing countries. It is the first monograph-length work to provide a comprehensive assessment of this jurisprudence. The book examines which Global South countries are seeing climate cases, what is driving these trends, the coalitions of actors involved, and the early impacts the litigation is delivering towards goals of climate mitigation and adaptation. With growing scholarly and policy interest in the contribution of climate litigation to international climate governance, the book helps capture and analyse the richness of climate cases emerging in the Global South to provide a holistic picture of the role climate litigation plays in addressing the global problem of climate change.
