The Regulation of Emission Quotas through the Lens of the Digital and Green Transition in the Climate Change Litigation Era

The significance of civil law in addressing climate change necessitates a re-evaluation of the theories of 'legal assets' and contract. In this context, this contribution focuses on greenhouse gas emission quotas as object of rights conformed to the pursuit of the collective interest in environmental and climate protection. Furthermore, the paper discusses the impact of novel technologies on the trade of emission quotas, emphasizing the relative benefits and risks for both environmental protection and personal rights.
