DESCRIPTION:„Transnational Climate Change Law: Scrutinising State Re
 sponsibilities and Corporate Accountabilities” von Professor Peer Zu
 mbansen (McGill University) Transnational Political Economies of Clima
 te Law Distinguished Lecture\, ECCHR Summer School\, Nuremberg\, 17 Se
 ptember 2025 Peer Zumbansen Lecture focus The lecture interrogates the
  place of “climate change law” in legal doctrine within the broade
 r context of the hybrid and fragmented governance spaces which today m
 ake up the field. Abstract For some lawyers\, “climate change law”
  is as self-evident as contract or corporate law. Others find it as co
 ntestable or unnecessary as\, say\, labour law or queer law. Their ske
 pticism or outright hostility is justified with reference to doctrine\
 , but is grounded in ideology. And\, for others still\, CCL is as inta
 ngible as cyberlaw or the law of online content moderation. Who is rig
 ht\, who is wrong? Environmental law once seemed\, to some\, a logical
  extension of tort\, property and administrative law\, while – for o
 thers – it seemed simply impossible\, as in ‘not needed.’ Simila
 r experiences were made before that with equal rights law\, poverty la
 w\, prison law and others. And\, again\, similar experiences are being
  made today with fields / concepts such as ‘global value chain law
 ’ or ‘modern slavery law.’ These are\, to some\, anything but se
 lf-evident. For others\, they are challenging\, for sure\, but also im
 mensely necessary. These knots cannot be untied simply. It seems\, ins
 tead\, that the particular itch these conceptual proposals represent i
 s performing a productive role. CCL\, just like the other contested fi
 elds before and around it\, remains a provocation to engage with law
 ’s ability to address serious threats and unacceptable conditions. W
 hen we inquire into that ability\, we are quickly in the deep end of q
 uestions that relate not merely to a particular legal doctrine or whet
 her a CCL case would be going before a civil court or an administrativ
 e tribunal\, whe
