Abstract
3. Lord Carnwath, former Justice of the UK Supreme Court, was quoted as expressing ‘disappointment’ that the question of legal enforcement of States’ climate change obligations did not form part of the discussions in COP 26. Long an advocate of the central role that courts should play in promoting compliance with international and national environmental obligations, Lord Carnwath said that the UK has a ‘good story to tell’ on the world stage when it comes to legal enforcement and the role of legislation in tackling climate change. Have the UK courts lived up to that reputation in 2022?
