Description

In June 2018, Asia-Pacific Centre for Environmental Law (APCEL) and Yale Law School co-organised an
international research workshop to critically examine the state of climate change litigation in the Asia
Pacific. Climate Change Litigation in the Asia Pacific is the result of the 2018 workshop. Bringing legal
academics and lawyers from the Global North and Global South together, the book provides rich insights
into how litigation can galvanize climate action in countries including Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and
China. It provides in-depth case studies in selected jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific region, a dedicated
section on climate change litigation in China, and includes contributions from both established and
emerging scholars.

Many exciting developments have unfolded since 2018. At this book launch, four experts will share their
insights on these developments in climate change litigation in the Asia Pacific with a particular focus on
Australia, China, India and South Korea.
