Das Paris-Abkommen zum Klimaschutz als umweltvölkerrechtlicher Paradigmenwechsel
The Paris agreement on climate protection, adopted in December 2015, was politically celebrated as a milestone of international climate policy. However, in the German speaking jurisprudential literature it found comparably little attention. In contrast to the Anglo-American literature restrained approval dominated. Is it possible, that only German environmental activists are capable to assess the gravity of the situation? Nearer lies the assumption that the conceptual transition of the perspective of international law is not taken into consideration properly.
