<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Climate litigation has been used as a strategic tool to advance climate policy goals for at least three decades. As the number of cases addressing the causes and consequences of climate change and the public interest in such litigation has increased\, so has public interest in such litigation. Today\, climate litigation is widely considered to be a governance mechanism to address climate change.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In this webinar\, a panel of experts and practitioners will discuss the extent to which climate change litigation is driving governments to adopt more ambitious climate policies and inducing a change of behaviour among major GHG emitting corporations. The panel will also explore potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on future litigation cases.</p>
