Climate Law was established in 2010 with the aim of publishing peer-reviewed articles on topics related to the emerging field of climate change law at the international, regional, domestic, and local levels. The journal recognizes the multifaceted nature of climate change law and actively welcomes contributions from all levels of legal and policy engagement, including transnational approaches and private governance. The scope of
Climate Law is grounded in the understanding that climate change law does not exist in isolation but interacts with many other areas of law, creating complex interplays. Submissions exploring these interactions, such as those between climate change and environmental, energy, human rights, and trade law, are highly encouraged. Additionally,
Climate Law places a strong emphasis on the governance dimensions of climate change law. The journal is particularly interested in contributions that analyze not only legal instruments but also the processes and actors that shape climate change law. By embracing this comprehensive approach,
Climate Law aims to capture the diverse legal responses to climate change and provide a holistic view of the evolving legal landscape, highlighting the potential and challenges to drive meaningful climate action.
