Documentary abstract — original language
This chapter presents the courtroom drama of Luciano Lliuya’s lawsuit against RWE. It describes how the judges evaluated the legal claims by applying the concept of neighborliness—arguing that moral obligations extend beyond local boundaries to connect distant actors. The narrative explains that established legal norms, particularly Section 1004 of the German Civil Code, were reinterpreted to address global climate change. It recounts how, during a hearing in November 2017, Luciano Lliuya’s legal team argued that RWE’s emissions have caused tangible environmental harm in Peru, thereby establishing a legally actionable neighborly relation. The chapter demonstrates that climate litigation is emerging as a strategic tool to hold major emitters accountable while potentially setting precedents for broader sociopolitical change.
