Australian and Pacific Climate Change Litigation Database

Hosted by our partners, Melbourne Climate Futures at the University of Melbourne, the Australian and Pacific Climate Change Litigation Database records litigation (including settled cases and court orders) on issues of climate change in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Australia presently has the second largest number of climate cases globally and the most significant adaptation jurisprudence of any country. Climate litigation is likely to continue to grow in New Zealand and Pacific Island countries.
