'With climate litigation on the rise worldwide, this judicial avenue is one that is becoming ever more important. And the coming year is shaping up to be a momentous one for climate in the courts.'
Courts are becoming a critically important arena for addressing issues of justice and accountability pertaining to the climate emergency. Increasingly citizens and communities are turning to the courts in efforts to hold governments and corporations accountable for their roles in the escalating planetary crisis. This trend is so significant that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change even referenced it several times in its latest report on climate mitigation published last spring.
Climate will be on court dockets in a big way in 2023 with several high-profile cases scheduled for trials and hearings. Each of these cases invokes constitutional or human rights and involve groups that are disproportionately impacted by climate change, such as youth and indigenous peoples, putting their governments on trial.
