"This follow-up report to the Grantham Research Institute's recent 2022 report on Global trends in climate litigation, explores a subset of climate litigation in which governments' policy responses to climate change are challenged, which we call ‘government framework litigation‘.
Successful framework cases may have a significant impact on government decision-making, requiring governments to develop and implement more ambitious policy responses to climate change. Government framework litigation may also result in rapid changes to policy landscapes."
