The Geography Of Climate Change Litigation: Implications For Transnational Regulatory Governance, Hari M. Osofsky
Hari Osofsky
This Article aims to forward the dialogue about transnational regulatory governance through a law and geography analysis of climate change litigation. Part II begins by considering fundamental barriers to responsible transnational energy production. Part III proposes a place-based approach to dissecting climate change litigation and a model for understanding its spatial implications.
