Climate Change is a global challenge that is increasingly brought before national tribunals. Building on a global project exploring climate change litigation in over 40 countries, this public lecture will discuss why climate change cases before national tribunals are on the rise, highlighting examples from around the world and discussing where else this is likely to happen next, and why.

“The public lecture will be delivered by Dr Francesco Sindico and Dr Joana Setzer will be acting as a discussant.

Dr Sindico is the Founder and Co-Director of SCELG and is the general rapporteur for the 2018 Conference of the International Academy of Comparative Law on the topic of climate change and the individual. Dr Setzer is a Research Officer at the LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. This public lecture is part of an ongoing collaboration between SCELG and the LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment in the framework of the latter’s global data base on climate change litigation.
