Future generations, wildlife, and natural resources - collectively referred to as 'the voiceless' in this work - are the most vulnerable and least equipped populations to protect themselves from the impacts of global climate change. In this new edition of Climate Change and the Voiceless, Randall S. Abate provides comprehensive analysis of recent landmark strategic litigation to protect vulnerable communities, significant updates on legislative and judicial developments on rights of nature, and a detailed summary of the most important climate change advisory opinions and their implications for the protection of voiceless communities. As in the original work, he identiﬁes the common vulnerabilities of the voiceless in the Anthropocene era and demonstrates how the law can evolve to protect their interests more effectively. This work should be read by anyone interested in how the law can be employed to mitigate the effects of climate change on those who stand to lose the most.

'This book provides a compelling and robust review of the progress that has (and hasn't) been made in considering 'the voiceless – future generations, wildlife, and natural resources – in climate change law and policy. Whatever the reader thinks about personhood for other species and the Rights of Nature movement in general, this second edition provides an up-to-date and comprehensive international overview of how those tools are being deployed in an era of climate change. For readers in the United States in particular, the book offers an intriguing, hopeful, and sometimes surprising introduction to what has become possible, legally, in other parts of the world.' Robin Kundis Craig, Robert A. Schroeder Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas School of Law
