SUMMARY:Public Interest Litigation on the Intersections between Human Rights and Climate Justice: PILS Project
DESCRIPTION:Pro bono lawyers have a vital role to play in climate justice cases\, particularly where those cases impact marginalised communities whose access to justice is impaired or restricted. \nThis webinar panel event will look at the developing area of rights-based climate litigation and the different ways in which human rights intersect with climate justice. \nWe will hear from Paul Clark\, one of the barristers acting for the Portuguese youth-applicants in their European Court of Human Rights claim against 33 countries in connection with emissions reductions.
