The debate and the consequences of climate change have taken the centre stage over the past 30 years, with rising global temperature and the consequent ecological damage it has unleashed, said climate change lawyer Jatinder (Jay) Cheema.

He was speaking at the release of his book "Climate Change - The Policy, Law, and Practice". It was launched by Acting Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia, here today.
