Is Arbitration the Key to Resolving Climate Change Disputes? Or Are We Missing Something? As the world grapples with the realities of climate change, the need for effective dispute resolution mechanisms is more critical than ever. Arbitration, known for its efficiency and flexibility, could be an effective tool to address complex climate-related disputes. But is it truly equipped to handle the intricacies of environmental justice and global accountability? While arbitration offers many advantages, it also faces significant challenges regarding climate change. Issues like the need for transparency and the enforceability of climate obligations require us to rethink and adapt traditional arbitration frameworks. The question remains: Can arbitration, with the proper modifications, rise to meet the demands of the climate crisis, or do we need entirely new mechanisms to ensure justice and fairness in these global disputes? #ClimateChange #Arbitration #Sustainability #LegalInnovation #EnvironmentalJustice #ADR #DisputeResolution
