help Climate Litigation Network FAQ
What does the Climate Litigation Network actually do?
The Climate Litigation Network supports communities and legal teams using courts to challenge inadequate climate action. It provides legal expertise, coordination, and strategic resources rather than operating as a conventional consumer law firm.
Who established the Climate Litigation Network?
The Urgenda Foundation set up the network to help spread the legal strategy behind climate cases. Urgenda is known for its landmark climate case against the Dutch government.
Does the Climate Litigation Network bring lawsuits itself?
Its role is generally to support national organizations and litigators who bring cases in their own jurisdictions. That can include legal strategy, research, coordination, and connections between climate cases.
What kinds of defendants can climate litigation target?
Climate cases may challenge governments over inadequate climate policy or corporations over emissions and climate-related conduct. The network's work is therefore relevant to both public-law cases and selected corporate accountability lawsuits.
