The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has released its long-awaited Advisory Opinion on the Climate Emergency and Human Rights, a landmark development to define binding standards for states’ climate obligations under international human rights law. This moment marks a major opportunity to strengthen climate litigation, advance environmental accountability, and expand the use of legal tools to address the climate crisis across the Americas and beyond.

This session covered a deeper analysis of the implementation of the Court’s Advisory Opinion via litigation in the region, an overview of the current cases pending before the Inter-American Human Rights System, and how the region can utilise the recent Advisory Opinion.
