This paper proceeds from the posi=on that regulatory chill in the context of climate change is undesirable and we need to think of a combina=on of strategies to limit the regulatory chill on States to adopt effective climate change measures. It is impossible and even undesirable to eliminate all claims. This paper examines strategies that can reduce (even if the strategy does not eliminate) regulatory chill by critically analysing possible strategies. It also focusses on measures that are adopted by States to comply with international obligations such as the Paris Agreement.
