Abstract

The Industrial Revolution gave birth to the Anthropocene. As its core issue, trans boundary climate damage, with its collective and cumulative nature, poses a fundamental challenge to traditional international law. This paper focuses on the determination of state liability for climate damage. It analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of traditional state liability for wrongful acts, strict liability for trans boundary damage, and compensatory liability. Moreover, it proposes to introduce the theories of systematic interpretation and concurrence of claims, and explores the linkage between climate law, the law of the sea, and human rights law to construct an umbrella-shaped relief network. Finally, in combination with China's practice in climate governance, it looks forward to a new paradigm of global climate governance aiming at fair-ness and justice.
