This book provides an inside account of the Lliuya v. RWE case – one of the most significant climate lawsuits ever brought. The author Noah Walker-Crawford helped initiate the case in 2014, served as interpreter and scientific adviser to the plaintiff’s legal team, and went on to study the lawsuit as an anthropologist. The book moves between German courtrooms, UN climate summits, and melting glaciers in the Peruvian Andes, revealing what climate justice looks like in practice: the legal strategy, the science, the corporate response, and the deeply personal motivations of a Peruvian farmer who stayed the course for a decade because he felt the mountains were suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
