1. 1. Climate Litigation: A Distraction or a Solution to the Climate Crisis?
38:40In a world grappling with the urgent reality of the climate crisis, the role of climate litigation, both domestic and international, has become a topic of intense debate. In recent years we have seen a spike in legal cases where either governments or corporations were taken to court over the climate crisis. This episode delves into the heart of climate litigation, especially its contribution to the fight against the climate emergency. Is it one of the solutions, driving positive change, or a distraction, diverting attention from the real solution? This episode will unpack different approaches to these questions with contributing guests addressing the issue of placing too much (or too little) faith on climate litigation as a game changer. Guests:Dr Carolina Arlota, Associate research scholar at Columbia Law School and non-resident fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.Aref Shams, PhD candidate in international law at University College London.
