📄 Abstract(原文)
Both class actions and climate change were chosen as the central topics of this research paper in order to examine the potential utility in pursuing a remedy for damages incurred from gradual climate change. This sparks some key questions for consideration, such as what is the potential scope of damages that could be awarded for what is ultimately ongoing and continuous damages? Could penalties be imposed by the Judiciary onto Parliament/Legislatures by means of financial payments or court ordered injunctions? What implications do these restrictions mean for both governing bodies and those directly impacted by the adverse effects of climate change? Should climate change class actions be directed at government bodies that have been deemed to not be taking enough action, or should the private organizations responsible for the growing climate crisis be the targets of climate class actions? The method of approaching these questions will begin with a review of existing literature and jurisprudence, of which will examine the potential benefits and drawbacks of utilizing class actions as a vehicle for climate advocacy, the various challenges which may impact a climate change class action at the various stages of certification, as well as an evaluation of an alternative procedure in order to evaluate if class actions are the optimal course of action to pursue climate advocacy through the Canadian legal systems.
