Wars, disease, famine, pestilence and weather disturbances have marked 6,000 years of man’s recorded history. Yet mankind survived. The dropping of atomic bombs in 1945, followed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons have ironically not made the world less safe in the 80 years after the Second World War. The ravaging impact of climate change, on the other hand, has so far not spared any country or continent. Hence, unlike earlier threats to civilisation which were localised within a country or continent — even the Second World War was essentially a European and Asian conflict — global warming and climate change affect the entire world. It is a global crisis requiring global response. In consequence, climate crisis has emerged as the greatest existential threat, not just to mankind, but to our very Earth.

Practitioners of the law must be fully immersed in climate governance
