Climate change litigation is gaining momentum worldwide—but does it deliver real change? In recent years, numerous climate rulings around the world have been celebrated as landmark decisions, whether at the domestic level or in international human rights courts. In contexts where legislative and executive actions fall short, judicial interventions have been hailed as powerful tools to advance climate ambition. But has the promise of climate litigation been fulfilled?

This webinar examines the aftermath of key climate decisions: What happens after a legal win? Why are some rulings swiftly implemented, while others stall? Drawing on comparative insights and case studies, speakers will explore the drivers and barriers behind the (non-)implementation of leading climate cases across jurisdictions.
