In the face of an existential crisis due to climate change, one thing is clear: from the rise of capitalism and the exploitation of nature to the unchecked use of fossil fuels, our current legal systems have brought us to the brink of disaster. But what if the very framework that once helped the powerful secure their rights could now be used to fight back? Green Constitutionalism explores how a revolutionary approach to constitutional law-one that places sustainability, climate justice, and a degrowth economy at the heart of our legal systems-can offer a powerful tool for saving our planet. Drawing on groundbreaking examples of judicial activism from ten countries around the world, including a detailed analysis of the Neubauer and KlimaSeniorinnen decisions, this book traces the rise of a green legal movement and challenges us to rethink our future. These conclusions offer a path forward that reimagines the very principles of rights and governance for a just, sustainable world.
