Vigyázó szemünket Párizsra vetettük – a klímaváltozás és a klímamegállapodás versenyfutása

Absztrakt

The present social and economic crises are either direct consequences of climate change or other drastic changes in the environmental conditions or they are strongly interrelated with them. In order to achieve the necessary socio-economic changes we shall apply proper legal tools based on widely accepted scientific findings.

This article has been jointly written by a physicist, a lawyer and an economist. They survey the scientific and social background of the Paris Agreement and analyse the legal text from the angle of effectiveness and implementability. At the end of the arcicle the authors strive to report on the scoring of the race between climate change and the reactions given to it by international law and try to highlight those factors that could help to make this race a little bit more tight.
