In this new paper, Prof Jacqueline Peel discusses corporate climate litigation developments in Australasia.

Forthcoming as a chapter in Douglas Kysar & Ernest Lim, The Oxford Handbook on Climate Change and Private Law (Oxford University Press, 2026).

In the first episode of the Corporate Climate Litigation: Global Perspectives & Legal Tactics podcast, Professor Jacqueline Peel and Professor Michael B. Gerrard (Columbia University) join hosts Ivano Alogna, Crisela Bernardino & Anthony Wenton.

The conversation covers the basics of corporate climate litigation, key legal actors and arguments, and its evolution—especially in the U.S. and globally. The episode explores how this litigation intersects with corporate governance, human rights, and environmental law, and examines why corporations are being sued, what outcomes are being pursued, and the challenges involved.

It serves as a comprehensive introduction to a fast-developing legal area at the intersection of climate justice, law, and corporate accountability
