Climate litigation is rapidly becoming a global phenomenon, placing courts as essential players in climate governance to advance and protect human rights. Climate litigation in the Global South, in particular, is an essential tool to address heightened vulnerability and protect human rights. Given this growing trend, since 2021 the GNHRE project, "Climate Litigation in the Global South", has been collaborating with scholars from the Global South and beyond to produce novel research that amplifies Global South perspectives and experiences of climate action in the courts. The project team is currently developing an edited volume to be published by Routledge titled Climate Litigation and Vulnerabilities: Global South Perspectives, featuring contributions on litigation strategy, indigenous peoples’ struggles for climate justice, and women and children as vulnerable groups. The contributions are primarily by emerging scholars from the Global South. The first draft manuscript is due for submission at the end of June 2024. As such, most chapters are currently being finalised following internal review or undergoing external anonymous peer review.

A research assistant is required to work with the project leaders from 1 April until 31 December 2024 on the following tasks:

• Supporting the peer review process, including engaging with reviewers and authors, ensuring a peer-review tracking sheet is maintained and updated, etc.;


• Indexing (reviewing chapters and compiling and index of relevant words);


• Proof-reading chapters and ensuring compliance with OSCOLA style and Routledge’s formatting and style requirements;


• Assisting with the preparation of an annotated bibliography to support research related to the project;


• Proof-reading the full manuscript once page-proofs are prepared by the publisher;


• Assisting with arrangements for events planned in July and October 2024.

An LLM in Environmental Law, comparative study and knowledge of climate litigation in various jurisdictions will be an advantage;

Experience of OSCOLA’s referencing style

Strong communication skills

Ability to comprehend complex situations quickly and provide creative solutions where appropriate
