The webinar will address Professor Abate’s book ‘Climate Change and the Voiceless: Protecting Future Generations, Wildlife, and Natural Resources’ (Cambridge University Press 2019). This work focuses on future generations, wildlife, and natural resources – collectively referred to as “the voiceless”. These are the most vulnerable and least equipped populations to protect themselves from the impacts of global climate change. While domestic and international law are beginning to recognize rights and responsibilities that apply to the voiceless community; these legal developments have yet to be pursued in a collective manner in the context of climate change and climate justice.
Professor Abate’s presentation will identify the common vulnerabilities of “the voiceless” in the Anthropocene era and propose how the law can evolve to protect their interests more effectively through a stewardship-focused and rights-based system derived from the mandate inherent in the concept of sustainable development.
The presentation is drawn from Professor Abate’s book by the same title, published by Cambridge University Press in October 2019.
