Professor Saleemul Huq Memorial Public Lecture on Promoting Climate Justice: Roles of Courts and Youth At this era of 21st century, the earth is undergoing the extreme impacts of climate change, making the developing and least developed countries the most vulnerable. It is evident that such change in climate is mostly human-induced rather than natural causes. However, being the least contributors of climate change, the said countries face the adversities the most. The concept of Climate Justice is basically rooted in the principle of proportionality and the polluter-pays principle. It stipulates that responsibilities for addressing vulnerabilities, impacts, and responses to climate change should be determined according to historical pollution levels in the atmosphere. Moreover, vulnerable developing countries ought to receive financial, technological, and capacity building support from polluting countries based on their vulnerabilities. However, the concept of Climate Justice is not adequately reflected in policies and practices. Legal communities across various jurisdictions are making efforts to compel polluters to pay for climate-related loss and damage. Concurrently, youth and children have emerged as crucial stakeholders in the multi-stakeholder governance approach to climate change. This lecture aims to present some innovative, solution-oriented thoughts on climate litigations and meaningful youth engagement to promote climate justice.
