About

Climate litigation is a field of study investigating the application of legal and judicial mechanisms to address the causes, impacts, and policy responses to climate change. It examines the diverse legal strategies, actor dynamics, judicial interpretations, and socio-political outcomes of cases brought before national and international tribunals, thereby contributing significantly to the evolving legal and governance frameworks surrounding climate change and shaping accountability for climate action and inaction.
