Contributor(s): Dr Danielle de Andrade Moreira, Kate Cook, Professor Michael Gerrard, Professor Jacqueline Peel, Dr Joana Setzer | This influential report provides an annual overview of key developments in climate litigation worldwide and identifies emerging trends shaping the future of climate law and governance. This year's report marks a decade since the landmark rulings in Urgenda Foundation v State of the Netherlands and Leghari v Federation of Pakistan. These cases pioneered the ‘rights-turn’ in climate litigation. Ten years on, the field has matured and diversified. In this edition, we expand our typology of case strategies to examine trends in cases heard by Supreme Courts and their equivalents, offering new insights into litigation outcomes at the highest judicial levels.Featured image (used in source code with watermark added): Photo by Kaboompics.com via Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/women-protesting-and-speaking-through-megaphones-8106775/

  • 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.
