The essay examines the legal challenges associated with protecting the emerging environmental interest in climate change. In the Anthropocene era, climate law ‒ characterized by international obligations lacking effective enforcement mechanisms ‒ and the increasing prominence of climate change litigation, exemplified by landmark cases across Europe, highlight the inadequacy of existing legal instruments to safeguard interests that Italian literature typically refers to as ‘diffuse’ or ‘lordless’ (adespoti). By outlining the limitations of climate law, climate litigation, and the Italian case ‘Giudizio universale’, the essay underscores the need for a paradigm shift, both in conceptualizing the phenomenon and the underlying interest, to promote the adoption of more effective instruments capable of ensuring efficient and sustainable climate governance.
