climate change litigation

Climate change litigation refers to legal actions taken to hold governments or corporations accountable for their role in causing climate change. These lawsuits often claim that entities have violated laws or failed to meet environmental obligations, contributing to global warming and its impacts. Such cases seek to enforce environmental regulations, demand accountability for greenhouse gas emissions, and obtain compensation for damages caused by climate-related events. The growing frequency of these lawsuits reflects a global push for action against climate change, as individuals, communities, and advocates seek justice and effective solutions to mitigate its effects.
