Resumo(s)
Sea level rise is one of the downstream adverse effects of GHG emissions and climate change, but also a source of risk to coastal States, communities, and ecosystems, which means that sea level rise, in itself, can be viewed as a form and a source of harm to several rights protected under international law. Accordingly, although there is neither a special regime of ‘sea level rise law’, nor a specialized ‘sea level rise court’, other regimes of international law and their centralized courts, treaty-based bodies, and administrative mechanisms can contribute to pursue the private and public goals of sea level rise litigation. As such, this article maps the alternative options for sea level rise litigation at the international level through the lenses of scenarios (ie regimes of international law and international courts, treaty-based bodies, and administrative mechanisms responsible for their centralized interpretation and application), players (ie States and non-State actors), and desired outcomes (ie purposes of litigation).
