“…The concept of equity is linked to a fair distribution of the benefits and burdens of using natural resources, and while international law on climate change so far has failed to incorporate a systematic approach to the concept of fairness that all Parties to the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement can support, some domestic landmark climate cases have developed their definition of the 'fair share' of states. 144 Human rights doctrine has been used with increasing success to define states' obligations concerning environmental protection and especially climate action, 145 and this has in turn been criticised because of the limitations that human rights instruments might represent. 146 The law remains challenged by the complexities of climate change and its underlying tensions, and the realisation of equitable outcomes of climate action, therefore, is still patchwork.…”

The ‘Advance Interference-Like Effect’ of Climate Targets: Fundamental Rights, Intergenerational Equity and the German Federal Constitutional Court

Some climate lawsuits qualify as landmark cases, because they either mark an unexpected turning point in environmental jurisprudence, or they introduce a new conceptual analysis of the law vis-à-vis the global challenge of climate change. The decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court from March 2021 meets both criteria, it has already defined climate policy and law-making in Germany, and it revolutionised the traditional concept of ‘interference’ with fundamental rights under the German Basic Law. This article examines the order and its significance for climate litigation, legislation and constitutional doctrine, and it analyses how international law defines the state’s objective to protect the climate pursuant to Article 20a Basic Law, including for future generations. On that basis, the article argues that the Court's approach towards intergenerational equity remains limited due to the perception of the carbon budget as ‘freedom budget’.

“…Both of these topics are essential as they are considered as the current issues. Climate change and global warming are identified through the occurence of the everincreasing temperature (Matawal, 2013), which; some of the consequences are the increase in sea level, weather disasters, and heatwaves (Grossman, 2018;Hayes et al, 2018). As it affects the sea level, the temperature can be defined through the correlation between the evaporation and the increase of rainfall rate.…”

As an archipelago country in the equator, Indonesia has a tropical climate and often is subjected to monsoonal circulation. The geographical location affects Indonesia to have two seasons, which are the rainy season and drier season. Every season has its characteristic impacts against the mean temperature and rainfall rate. This research aims to analyze Indonesia’s mean temperature and rainfall rate data concerning its tropical climate. The areas observed are limited to Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara Island from January 2019 to December 2020. The data gathered from the official Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) website were processed using MATLAB, and Spearman’s correlation was applied to analyze the rainfall and temperature data. From the observation, this study discovered that the mean temperature data is stable throughout the areas but reaches maximum during the transition between rainy and drier seasons and minimum during the middle of the rainy season. The data observation is often fluctuated, even though showing less rain during the drier season and more during rainy seasons. The fluctuation is affected by the geographical fact that Indonesia has a large water surface, which makes evaporation easily induced by warm tropical temperatures.

“…By 2012, the earth's surface temperature level had risen by 0.85ºC compared with that before industrialization [11]. At the same time, due to the lag of the response of the earth's climate system to greenhouse gas, the global temperature may continue to rise by at least another 0.5ºC even if the current level of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is no longer rising [12,13]. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise [14,15], the future climate change may further drive a substantial impact on electricity demand [16].…”

The electricity supply chain, especially electricity demand, is very sensitive to climate. Developing a clear and quantitative understanding of the impacts of climate change on monthly electricity demand is critical for long-term generation capacity planning to maintain a reliable electricity supply system. A methodological framework applicable to city-level study is proposed and applied in Tianjin to investigate the impacts of climate change on monthly electricity consumption. By combining the empirical results with an ensemble of climate predictions under three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), the study simulates the changes in monthly electricity demand caused by climate change in Tianjin by the end-of-century. The simulation results showed that climate change is projected to have severe impacts on the frequency and intensity of monthly peak electricity demand. Specifically, electricity demand in July would be 56% higher than that in November in 2099 under the RCP8.5 scenario. Climate change may drive substantial changes to the electricity supply chain, and our study is indicative of a need for adaptive strategies.
