Abstract. Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are among the most concerning consequences of retreating glaciers in mountain ranges worldwide. GLOFs have attracted significant attention amongst scientists and practitioners past 2 decades, with particular interest physical drivers mechanisms GLOF hazard socioeconomic other human-related developments that affect vulnerabilities to events. This increased research focus on is reflected gradually increasing number papers published annually. study...
Abstract. Evidence of observed negative impacts on natural and human systems from anthropogenic climate change is increasing. However, in particular are dynamic influenced by multiple drivers hence identifying an signal challenging. Here we analyze the case lake Palcacocha Andes Peru, which offers a representative model for other glacier lakes related risks around world because it features evolution flood risk driven physical socioeconomic factors processes. Furthermore, object prominent...
This article follows a groundbreaking climate justice lawsuit between Peruvian farmer and major energy company in German court, strategic political intervention addressing the inequities of global warming. The claim posits that two are neighbors, meaning should take responsibility for contributing to change impacts Andes. Using this legal conception as starting point engage with academic discussions about sociality moral responsibility, I establish neighborliness an analytical framework...
Climate change attribution science describes with increasing precision how anthropogenic activities are affecting environments around the world. In legal disputes over corporations' and governments' responsibility for climate change, plays a key role in evaluating defendants' contribution to impacts. This paper examines is used establish causal chains litigation. While scientific methodologies advancing rapidly, questions remain standards of proof should be applied evidence. If ongoing cases...

The Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage Associated with Climate Change Impacts (WIM) was established in 2013, its Executive Committee (ExCom) is developing a new five-year workplan. Seizing this opportune moment to assess institutional progress on the issue of loss damage under United Nations Framework Convention (UNFCCC) we address two research questions: (1) Has ExCom delivered workplans date, (2) how has ExCom's varied across thematic areas? Drawing public documentary...

Fossil fuel companies are no longer denying anthropogenic climate change in recent litigation but question the validity of science for establishing legal responsibility. Past research on social movement mobilization has primarily focused plaintiffs’ perspectives, showing how they use judicial process as a site knowledge production. Drawing attention to other side, I conduct an analysis scientific disputes major lawsuits and develop typology studying defendants’...
Abstract In a groundbreaking legal claim, Peruvian farmer is suing German energy company over climate change impacts. Ethnographically tracing the claimant's journey from Andes to courts, this article shows how lawsuit invokes notion of corporate personhood construct an ethically charged relationship between plaintiff and defendant. However, framework excludes other nonhuman persons such as Andean earth beings. Despite their formal invisibility, invocation beings provides public...

<p>The vast majority (~70%) of tropical glaciers in the world are located Peruvian Andes. The Santa River Basin, Ancash region Peru, is bound by two parallel mountain ranges; Cordillera Blanca to east and Negra west. main water sources rivers lakes originated from glacier melt, while has no depends on seasonal rainfall. In last decades, resources have decreased due climate change, demand increased population growth intensification agricultural industrial activities. Moreover,...
