The recent past has seen a rise in litigation seeking to hold specific private and public actors liable for their contribution to and impacts of climate change, with a relatively low success rate. This highlights the need for further research into the reasonable and just distribution of responsibility for mitigation and adaptation. This book unites renowned researchers from various disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities of assigning responsibility and liability for climate change to specific actors. Thereby, the importance of interdisciplinary scientific dialogue on climate change is strengthened, and a new generation of jurists is to be provided with novel arguments for protecting our climate system.

Calliess/Ruffert comments on the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The European Charter of Fundamental Rights is also taken into account. The presentation follows the proven threefold structure in:
- case law of the ECJ and practice of the other EU institutions
- European legal literature and
- own opinions
The focus is on the legal questions that arise in national legal practice in the Federal Republic of Germany. The case law of the national courts, including the decisions of the BVerfG, is therefore also covered. The fundamental debates about the EU continue: In addition to dealing with the consequences of Brexit and the Corona crisis, there is still a need for reforms in the euro area and in the area of migration and security policy. In the mirror of the academic debate, the authors deal with Union law and the related case law in a practical manner.
The 6th edition deals, among other things, with the effects of Brexit and the Corona pandemic as well as the BVerfG decision on the incompetence of the ECB’s decisions on the government bond purchase programme. The new edition incorporates the more extensive discussions as well as the case law that has been handed down in the meantime.
Edited by Prof. Dr. Christian Calliess, M.A.E.S. (Bruges), LL.M.Eur., and Prof. Dr. Matthias Ruffert. Co-Edited by Prof. Dr. Kirsten Schmalenbach, among others.
With contributions by Prof. Dr. Kirsten Schmalenbach on the topics of “Responsibility and Liability” and “Peaceful Dispute Resolution”. Edited by Prof. Dr. Alexander Proelß.

In short, the present Commentary contains a comprehensive legal analysis of all aspects of the international law of treaties.Furthermore, where the law of treaties reaches into other fields of international law, e.g. the law of state responsibility, the relevant interfaces are discussed and contextualized. With its focus on international practice, the Commentary is an invaluable reference for both academia and practitioners of international law.“
