Climate litigation

Recent years have marked a significant turning point in climate change litigation as young people around the world increasingly assert their rights by challenging institutional action and inaction on climate change.

The Centre for Climate Law & Governance brought together key stakeholders to explore innovative strategies for advancing the rights of children and future generations through litigation in the face of the climate crisis. This outcome report summarises the discussions and main findings from a hybrid roundtable held on 5 April 2024 and a follow-up virtual roundtable held on 6 December 2024.

Both events explored innovative strategies to advance the rights of children and future generations through litigation in response to the climate crisis.
