"Around the world, climate litigation is being used by diverse actors as a tool to influence the outcome of climate governance. Climate litigation in Europe has emerged as a way to bring about more ambitious climate policies and actions from both governments and companies, and some European cases and decisions have been influencing litigants and courts around the world.
This report, written for the European Union Forum of Judges for the Environment (EUFJE) Annual Conference 2022, provides a synthesis of information on the current state of development of climate change litigation in Europe."
