Procedural challenges: ius standi and causality

Salinas Alcega, Sergio (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Procedural aspects present a particular challenge in the case of international climate change litigation based on human rights. The complex nature of climate change and its global character pose the risk that a broad approach to victim status will call into question the functioning of these bodies and clearly complicate the establishment of causality. This should not mean abandoning international human rights-based climate litigation as a means of reacting to climate change, but it does require a proper assessment of what this instrument can contribute to the ultimate goal of sufficiently reducing GHG emissions.
