Description
“Through an anthropologist’s lens, Noah Walker-Crawford brings the Lliuya v. RWE case to life and, in doing so, reframes climate litigation as a question of neighborliness and responsibility across scales. This vivid, deeply informed account shows how science, law, and lived experience meet in court—and why it matters for justice in a warming world. A compelling, essential read for lawyers, activists, and scholars alike.”—Joana Setzer, Associate Professor, LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment
“The Climate Trial is a riveting, intimate account of juridical possibilities long thought impossible. Through clear, elegant prose, Walker-Crawford weaves together the suspense of a transnational legal drama with an impassioned analytic that unfolds how legal principles and strategies yielded an improbable case. The Climate Trial is a must read for those concerned about our planetary climate crisis and pathways for securing corporate accountability.”—Suzana Sawyer, author of, The Small Matter of Suing Chevron
"With precision and elegance, Walker-Crawford weaves together Luciano Lliuya’s story with complex debates on causation, evidence, and the role of law in the climate crisis. The result is a fascinating book."—Maxim Bönnemann, Verfassungsblog
"[The Climate Trial] is a fascinating and worthwhile read because it seeks to get to the bottom of a key question that has bedevilled climate diplomacy: who should ultimately take responsibility for climate change?"—Gavin OToole, Latin American Review of Books
