In June 2020, the research center for climate law ClimLaw: Graz was officially opened at the University of Graz, Austria. As part of the festive opening, distinguished members of the Scientific Board of ClimLaw: Graz and PhD students specialising in climate law gave presentations on current opportunities and challenges in climate law. This volume assembles the essays and provides a testimony of the official launch of ClimLaw: Graz. Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges of our time and calls for legal, interdisciplinary and coordinated responses. This volume offers a glimpse into the diverse and pressing issues of climate law subject to ongoing research at ClimLaw: Graz.Current developments in climate law are critically observed and analysed from the national, EU and global perspective in steady dialogue with other disciplines. In doing so, ClimLaw: Graz is envisaged to become a nationally and internationally connected research, teaching and networking platform.For interested readers, this book offers insight into selected aspects of the current legal debate on climate change and climate protection.
