Symposium Description

Litigation on climate change is occurring around the world at national, regional and international levels. Many of these cases raise equality issues pointing to the unequal impacts of climate change on a range of vulnerable groups, but equality law arguments are not always front and center in these cases. This symposium brought together practitioners and scholars to exchange ideas, knowledge and strategic insights on the use of equality law in climate litigation. We were joined by around 50 expert speakers in this conversation. 

This symposium was held in partnership with the Climate Litigation Network.
