Guest Lecture: Lawsuits for the future

Vienna (OTS) –

How can litigation help ensure a liveable climate for future
generations?

This talk will reflect on the booming field of climate change
litigation where States and corporations are increasingly held
accountable for compromising the life opportunities of future
generations through their ineffective climate action. What are the
most successful shared litigation strategies of plaintiffs, who are
often children and young individuals, to claim protection for the
future? What are the rights and interests of future generations that
courts are willing to protect in the present? How could courts
determine, in an objective way, what lies in the interests of
posterity?
