Exploration of the Development Path of Climate Change Litigation in China under the “Dual Carbon Goals” Abstract：

Abstract

Climate change litigation has increased significantly in recent years, and climate justice has emerged as an essential means of combating climate change. The important value of climate change litigation in the risk so - ciety is the implementation of environmental and judicial preventative functions. As a major carbon emitter, China lacks dedicated laws to address climate change. To address climate change, achieve the “double carbon” aim, and apply the “prevention-oriented” concept in environmental and resource protection law, our country’s judicial organs must overcome procedural and substantive legal hurdles. To build a judicial approach to cli - mate change litigation in China, on the basis of repairing the existing laws and regulations, adding relevant provisions on climate change, and actively promoting judicial interpretation, the existing environmental civil and administrative public interest litigation should be reintegrated into the existing legal system, repairing the blank areas and designing and reconstructing the system for pre and rebuilding of the system.
