Catalyzing climate change litigation by bridging the gap between geosciences and legal practice (the meeting starts at 09:00 CET)
Fri, 28 Apr, 08:30–10:15 (CEST) Room 2.83
Fri, 08:30
In this splinter meeting, we invite a discussion on how to bridge the gap between the legal practice of climate change litigation and the geosciences. Starting with an overview of what the latest research says about the scientific evidence used in climate litigation, we will then open the discussion to address how new scientific methods can support legal efforts, and inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives on how to integrate geoscience insights in climate change litigation. This will include questions of climate change and impact attribution, responsibility, human rights, and burden sharing of efforts that link beyond disciplinary boundaries.
