Abstract	"In The Climate Trial, Noah Walker-Crawford follows the story of a landmark climate justice lawsuit levied against German energy company RWE by Peruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya, who sought to hold RWE financially responsible for glacial melting in the Peruvian Andes. Using this trial as a point of departure, The Climate Trial reveals how climate change reshapes our relations across vast distances. Arguing that industrial emitters and frontline communities are now 'neighbors' sharing a single, warming planet, the case makes innovative use of nuisance law to seek accountability for glacial retreat in the Peruvian Andes. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the Peruvian Andes, inside German courtrooms, and at United Nations climate summits, Walker-Crawford weaves together political, legal, and cosmological perspectives"-- Provided by publisher.
