The aim of these observations, presented within the bounds of generality available in an academic article, is to analyze the principal acts of European climate law and the resulting legal instruments to combat climate change, their nature and quantitative and qualitative evolution from the perspective of almost two decades of operations. We present our remarks against a background outlining the growth of the legal discipline known as “climate protection law” or “climate law”, what it protects, and the priorities determining the development trends in this protection.
Our basic research objectives were to verify the assumptions that 1) as an element of environmental law, climate law has been steadily evolving over the past decade toward a rigidifying modifcation of climate goals; and 2) although the number of normative acts for the control of climate change is steadily rising, they are not accompanied by a qualitative evolution of legal instruments to achieve these goals.
The research methods we used in this study were a dogmatic legal analysis of legal texts and publications and a comparative legal analysis of the normative material in international and European law for the combating of climate change.
