Join the launch of the Global Trends in Climate Change Litigation 2025 Snapshot Report - now in its seventh year. 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.

 The event will begin with a short presentation from author Joana Setzer on the findings of the report. A panel of experts in climate change law will then provide reflections on the report, focusing on developments in key jurisdictions including the US, Brazil, Australia and East Asia, and the International Court of Justice.

Speakers: Professor Jackie Peel (Director, Melbourne Climate Futures & Laureate Fellow in Global Corporate Climate Accountability, University of Melbourne); Dr Danielle de Andrade Moreira (Adjunct professor, Postgraduate Program in Law and the Interdisciplinary Center for the Environment, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro); Kate Cook (Barrister at Matrix Chambers, specialising in environmental, public international, and human rights law); Professor Michael Gerrard (Founder and Faculty Director, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law School); Dr Joana Setzer (Associate Professorial Research Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment); Professor Larry Kramer (President and Vice Chancellor of the London School of Economics and Political Science).
