Description

Abstract This article goes beyond the international law of climate change to pose some bigger picture questions regarding the relationship of climate change and international law First, is that as to whether international law has some responsibility for the climate change crisis through its promotion of a capitalist oil-based global economy. Accepting that this is the case, the article then asks whether international law can extricate itself from that past in order to facilitate changes on the scale and in the time-frame required to avoid worst-case scenarios. International law may be constrained in this regard by its methods of law-making and enforcement and by the political context in which it functions Although international lawyers are currently exploring the possibility of malting international law more democratic, the domestic experience of leading democracies would suggest that this may not help international law meet the climate change challenge. The article concludes by asking whether international law is too capitalist, too democratic, and too fearful to cope with the crisis of climate change.
