What is climate litigation and why is it becoming more and more prevalent in youth climate activism? What do we mean with “climate activism through the rule of law”? What are the challenges faced by youth groups who decided to take States to court for climate inaction?
These and many more questions will be addressed during our workshop, which will provide the basics of climate litigation and an interactive conversation with a representative of the youth behind the Aurora climate lawsuit and of the Sweden’s Environmental Association of Law (SEAL)!
Agenda of the event:
- Introduction to Climate Litigation: What is it? How does it work?
- The Aurora Climate Case: A conversation with Ida Edling, the legal and scientific coordinator of Aurora
- Presentation of Sweden’s Environmental Association of Law
- Q&A
