1 小时 22 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Thank you.
Welcome.
For those who don't know me, my name is Larry Cranmer.
I'm the president and vice chancellor here at LSE,
and it's my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to this very special event hosted by the Grantham Research Institute and LSE's new Global School of Sustainability,
and timed to be part of London Climate Action Week.
So tonight, we're launching the 2025 iteration of our,
I wrote, felicitously named Global Trends in Climate Litigation Snapshot Report.
which is now in its seventh iteration,
the report provides one of the most comprehensive overviews of global climate litigation and reviews the entire state of the field.
Cases seeking more ambition from governments,
cases trying to increase corporate responsibility,
legal trends in the global south,
and the dramatic changes in the political climate of the United States.
point of personal privilege,
climate litigation is actually a subject near and dear to my own heart.
When I joined the Hewlett Foundation in 2012,
it was at best in the US at least a fringe issue.
