Climate-Based Judicial Review and Liberal Democracy
Series: - International Environmental Law, Volume: 23
Author:
The monograph brings together climate protection, climate litigation, democratic processes and legal theory. It assesses how climate-related judicial review impacts liberal democracy, with particular attention to the separation of powers. Based on a selection of significant climate cases, the book analyses the stakes, obstacles, and dangers of courts deciding climate protection cases. Drawing on the work of Frank Michelman and Mark Tushnet, it develops a mode of climate-related judicial review that aligns with the fundamental principles of democracy. This monograph serves as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners, including environmental lawyers, judges, policymakers, climate litigators, and legal thinkers.
Patrick Lentz, PhD in Law (2025), alumnus of the University of Luxembourg, serves as Head of Training at the General Police Inspectorate. He lectures on human rights, constitutional law, and police ethics, providing education and guidance to law enforcement professionals.
Both the academic world and practitioners. It is particularly useful for environmental lawyers, judges, policymakers, legal thinkers, rights activists, and climate activists.
