International Climate Change Litigation

International climate change litigation involves legal cases brought across countries to address climate-related issues. These cases often challenge governments or companies for failing to meet environmental responsibilities or for actions that worsen climate change. They can result in courts ordering stronger policies, emissions reductions, or compensation. This legal approach helps hold entities accountable globally, emphasizing environmental protection and sustainable development. Such litigation plays a vital role in shaping climate policy and raising awareness about the urgency of addressing climate change through legal mechanisms at the international level.
