Abstract

Environmental constitutionalism has become a widespread phenomenon: this is where environmental rights and obligations are incorporated into national constitutions. But now a group of nations is taking things further, adopting ‘climate constitutionalism’ and thereby placing themselves at the forefront of expressing climate concerns in the language of constitutional rights, as this commentary explains.
