description May et al argues that jurisprudential developments in the US and Brazil show that rights-based lawsuits to vindicate a right to a stable or healthy climate--that is, to "climate rights"--have potential to play an important interstitial role in addressing climate pollution in both countries--despite a world of differences in judicial systems, procedures, and traditions. While progress has been made in recognizing climate rights, challenges remain. In the US, standing and justiciability issues have hindered climate litigation, while in Brazil, the implementation of climate policies and the protection of biomes are ongoing concerns. Overall, courts can play a crucial role in addressing climate change and enforcing climate rights. By directing governments to take action and enforcing constitutional provisions, courts can contribute to the global effort to combat climate change and protect the environment for future generations.
