Transnational climate protection law

该项目希望有助于发展气候保护法的跨国视角。以逐步淘汰以煤炭为基础的能源生产、气候政策中的新行为者和变化的控制措施为例，可以证明，促进气候保护的法律的基础的“跨国”发展是可取的。其目的不是描述气候保护法的一个新的分支，而是在次国家和非政府行为体在气候政策中的作用不断变化的背景下，国际、欧洲和国家法律的转变。将调查在多大程度上可以基于跨国方法从煤炭作为能源中撤出。到2050年实现温室气体排放中性的商定目标几乎无法以任何其他方式实现，而有关公司是否必须承担保护气候的责任仍有待观察。就气候政策的新行为者而言，不仅包括市政府等次国家单位，而且包括欧洲联盟市长公约等跨国网络，以及铁路、邮政和港口对气候保护的贡献，这些都有待深入研究。此外，《巴黎协定》通过激活民间社会控制，以及作为气候保护行为者的司法机构，解决了另一种类型的控制。比较美国和欧洲的气候诉讼可以展示巴黎协定下气候法的跨国层面。加强个人和集体诉讼将表明诉诸法律的机会正在发生怎样的变化。研究的中心问题是，气候保护法的跨国化将在多大程度上为实现长期目标所需的法律的、政治和经济结构的转变提供机会。

The project wants to contribute to the development of a transnational perspective on climate protection law. Based on the example of the phasing out coal based energy production, new actors in climate policy and changed controls, it is to be demonstrated that it would be advisable to promote a "transnational" development of the legal basis of climate protection. The intention is not to describe a new branch of climate protection law, but the transformations of international, European and national law against the background of the changing role of sub-state and non-governmental actors in climate policy. It is to be investigated in how far the withdrawal from coal as an energy source can be based on a transnational approach. The agreed objective, to attain greenhouse gas emissions neutrality by 2050, can hardly be achieved in any other way, while it remains to be seen whether the companies concerned will have to assume responsibilities for climate protection. As far as the new actors of climate policy are concerned, sub-state units such as municipalities, but also transnational networks such as the Covenant of Mayors in the European Union as well as contributions to climate protection by the railway, the postal service and the ports to be examined in depth. Moreover, the Paris Agreement adresses another type of control by activating civil society controls, but also the judiciary as an actor of climate protection. Comparing U.S. and European climate litigation could demonstrate the transnational dimension of climate law under the Paris Agreement. Strengthening individual and collective litigation will demonstrate how access to law is changing. The central question of research is in how far the transnationalisation of climate protection law will provide an opportunity for achieving the transformation of legal, political and economic structures required in order to reach the long term goals.
