Climate change-related litigation continues to make headlines, from the Milieudefensie v Royal Dutch Shell appeal decision to the groundbreaking judicial review decisions in Finch v Surrey County Council and the Greenpeace and Uplift v UK Government. But climate-related litigation is not just about activists challenging corporate and government behaviour – it is evolving to encompass claims for damages by consumers and investors for misleading sustainability reporting, damages claims for breach of contractual provisions relating to the provision of emissions reporting information, and tortious claims for losses suffered thousands of miles away from the Defendants’ places of business. This session will explore the different types of claim on the horizon, and ask whether the courts of England and Wales are well-suited to accommodate such claims which may involve financial services regulation, class actions, jurisdictional issues and complex problems of damages calculation and attribution science.
