The Centre for Climate Law and Sustainability Studies (CLASS) is an expert research unit based at the Institute of State and Law of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Launched in 2020, our Centre explores the contemporary challenges and problems that climate change poses to law at all levels and contributes to solving them in the Czech Republic. The creation of the research unit has been made possible by the kind support of the Czech Academy of Sciences through a ‘Lumina quaeruntur’ academic award to run a 5-year climate law project led by Hana Müllerová.
Our mission is to develop and cultivate the new discipline of climate law in a systematic way in the Czech law scholarship, to present our findings to both a law audience and the public, to develop interdisciplinary collaboration and to establish contacts and cooperation with other climate law research teams in Europe.
Our small research team, the first in the Czech Republic specialised in climate law and sustainability, covers International, European and Czech law. We concentrate especially on:
• law instruments of climate mitigation and adaptation;
• impacts of climate change on human rights, and human right approaches to climate protection;
• development and current trends in climate litigation;
• emission trading systems;
• legal regulation of energy, technologies and transport;
• law criteria for just transition processes to a low-carbon economy;
• relations between climate protection and environmental protection;
• climate change impacts on international trade and investment;
• law aspects of sustainable consumption.
