This collection examines how courts might address compensation for climate-related harm, bringing legal analysis into conversation with economics, insurance, psychology, and the practical problems of assessing loss. Helen Keller and Corina Heri organise the contributions around the opportunities and limits of litigation.
The opening sections consider the valuation of damage and the use of hypothetical scenarios to make legal questions concrete. Subsequent contributions examine litigation against governments, remedies under international and human-rights frameworks, and the difficulties of implementing compensation. A further section addresses corporate responsibility and the tools available through private law.
Rather than treating a favourable judgment as the end of the process, the volume asks what successful remedies would require and how different forms of harm can be recognised. It includes interim reflections, a concluding synthesis, contributor biographies, and an index supporting comparison across the chapters.
