Résumé
Disruptive of legal systems, anthropogenic climate change presents several conundrums for lawyers and defies the way they think about and deal with disaster risks. Japan is no exception. Part of a research in progress, this short paper raises the question of the practical and theoretical conditions under which climate disaster risks arise as a new area of legal practice in Japan. Exploratory, it focuses the discussion on the skills and knowledge that practicing lawyers can mobilize to address the many legal disruptions generated by a continuously rising risk of more frequent and higher-impact climate change-induced extreme events.
