Tracking Recent Trends and Future Opportunities in Climate Change Litigation
One of the most important and quickly-evolving areas of modern environmental law is climate change litigation. In the absence of meaningful federal action on the climate change front by Congress and the Executive Branch, and the failure of the energy industry to take responsibility for the adverse environmental consequences of their carbon-based products, private parties and state and local governments are increasingly turning to the courts to vindicate their climate change-based interests. The landmark Juliana v. U.S. “children’s trust” litigation, and the growing trend of local governments across the nation to rely on common law doctrines to recover damages from “Big Oil” companies, are but two key examples of this trend. Join some of California’s and the nation’s leading attorneys on the climate change litigation front for a lively discussion of recent developments in U.S. climate change litigation, and predictions as to where this legal initiative is likely to lead.
