In June 2020, the research center for climate law ClimLaw: Graz was
officially opened at the University of Graz, Austria. As part of the
festive opening, distinguished members of the Scientific Board of
ClimLaw: Graz and PhD students specialising in climate law gave
presentations on current opportunities and challenges in climate law.
This volume assembles the essays and provides a testimony of the
official launch of ClimLaw: Graz. Climate change presents one of the
greatest challenges of our time and calls for legal, interdisciplinary
and coordinated responses. This volume offers a glimpse into the diverse
and pressing issues of climate law subject to ongoing research at
ClimLaw: Graz. Current developments in climate law are critically
observed and analysed from the national, EU and global perspective in
steady dialogue with other disciplines. In doing so, ClimLaw: Graz is
envisaged to become a nationally and internationally connected research,
teaching and networking platform. For interested readers, this book
offers insight into selected aspects of the current legal debate on
climate change and climate protection.
