Description
Why is China appointing thousands of judges to environmental courts and training prosecutors to bring cases to them -- even if it means suing the government? Eco-lawyer James Thornton takes us inside the country’s growing effort to use the power of the courts to address environmental problems -- a little-known story that indicates China could become a champion of legal action on climate.
