legality and effective use of human-rights based climate litigation as social movement activism in the promotion/protection of development

本研究项目将侧重于跨学科的气候诉讼及其作为社会运动行动主义对发展的法律工具的影响。在这个主题中，我首先质疑气候诉讼是否可以被视为促进发展的法律社会行动主义的工具，然后在什么条件下这是可能的。气候诉讼提出了一系列环境发展的可能性，这在最近的“Lliuya诉RWE AG”和“leghari诉巴基斯坦联邦”等案件的成功中得到了体现。这些案例表明，这有可能通过气候诉讼实现大规模社会运动。它提供了一个平台，弱势群体可以在这里倡导自己的发展优先事项和政策变化，特别是保护他们的环境。本研究将运用社会运动理论、公共政策和环境发展的理论研究，并将其应用于案例研究和法律实践的归纳研究。这为环境政策和发展之间的学术研究提供了一个重要的机会，并考虑了一种新的社会运动实践形式，这种形式在未来可能会产生广泛的影响。

This research project will focus on an interdisciplinary focuson climate litigation and its impact as a legal tool of socialmovement activism on development. Within this topic, Iquestion initially whether climate litigation can beconsidered a tool of legal social activism for developmentand, thereafter under what conditions this is possible.Climate litigation presents an array of environmentaldevelopmental possibilities, which is displayed through therecent successes of cases such as 'Lliuya v. RWE AG' and'Leghari v. Federation of Pakistan'. These cases show thatthis could promise the possibility of mass social movementactivism through climate litigation. It provides a platformwhere vulnerable groups can advocate for their owndevelopmental priorities and policy change, especially forthe protection of their environment. This research willemploy theoretical research in social movement theory,public policy and environmental development and applythis to inductive research of case studies and legalpractices. This presents a vital opportunity to presentacademic research between environmental policy anddevelopment, and consider the idea of a new form of socialmovement practice that could have widespread effects inthe future.
