Global trends in climate litigation

This podcast episode delves into the evolving landscape of climate change litigation, highlighting the increasing prevalence and impact of legal actions taken against both governments and corporations. As discussed in the launch of the Grantham Research Institute's 2024 Trends in Climate Change Litigation Policy book, experts emphasize that while climate litigation is burgeoning globally, with significant cases emerging particularly in the Global South, it also brings new accountability challenges, particularly for corporate accountability and international investment arbitration. The conversation underscores how climate litigation catalyzes policy changes and reflects the interconnectedness of legal, ecological, and corporate accountability efforts in confronting climate change.
