Climate Law in Focus: Global 2024 Litigation Trends and the Role of Framework Laws

We are excited to announce that the London School of Economics' Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and Lawyers for Climate Action NZ Inc are holding a joint webinar about global climate litigation trends and the impact of climate framework laws on the response to climate change. 

The Grantham Institute has recently published two significant reports: 

• Global Trends in Climate Litigation: 2024 Snapshot
• Impacts of Climate Framework Laws: Lessons from Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand

Two authors of the reports, Catherine Higham and Alina Averchenkova, will present their key conclusions for New Zealand, how our legal framework and litigation more generally fit into the global picture, and what lessons we might be able to learn from other countries.

Their presentation will be followed by a Q&A facilitated by Lawyers for Climate Action's Executive Director, Jessica Palairet. The webinar will be recorded, and will be suitable for anyone across Australasia with an interest in climate change law, litigation and policy.
