“The burden of climate change solutions can only be equitably shared via an international court” – Stephen Hockman QC

“After millions of words that have been written on the subject of climate change, we seem no closer to establishing that ‘structure of control’ – Stephen Hockman QC

“The reluctance of developing countries to sign up to carbon commitments – unless the developed world is prepared to make an equitable contribution – calls for more radical options” – Stephen Hockman QC
