Throughout the last decade several cyclists have published memoirs in which they account for their doping use. In previous literature such autobiographical accounts have been characterized as attempts of fallen sports stars to sanitize their spoiled public image.

Klimaatverandering is niet meer weg te denken uit het publieke debat. In het afgelopen jaar stond het onderwerp vaak op de politieke agenda, werd Greta Thunberg uitgeroepen tot Time Person of the Year en was het Urgenda-arrest een van de meest besproken gerechtelijke uitspraken van het jaar.

Dit artikel bevat een verkenning naar de strafrechtelijke aansprakelijkheid van partijen die bijdragen aan klimaatverandering en de strafrechtelijke handhaving van klimaatwetgeving.
