ABSTRACT
The Global legal systems are becoming increasingly crucial in determining how governments and corporates respond to the challenges posed by climate change. There has been a rise in climate-related litigation in Indian courts, where the effects of climate change are most noticeable. To effectively manage the complex and dynamic nature of this issue, innovative legal strategies are needed; the mere existence of climate litigation is insufficient. Indian courts are globally renowned for their development of environmental jurisprudence and are poised to gain recognition for their climate-related judicial interpretations. The article analyses how innovative litigation tactics are impacting India’s legal framework. It also provides an overview of climate litigation strategies, innovative use of international laws and conventions, and recent case laws that demonstrate the judiciary’s inventive and dynamic response to climate change.
Keywords: climate litigation in India, environmental jurisprudence, judicial strategies for climate change, innovative legal approaches, international climate law.
