Climate Change: 2024 Stocktake
What do recent court rulings mean for the future of climate action? How are international legal bodies shaping the fight against climate change? In our first episode for 2025 , we join forces with the Sheffield Centre for International and European Law (SCIEL) to explore the most pressing legal developments in climate law.
Together with Malgosia Fitzmaurice (QMUL), Ivano Alogna (BIICL), and Agnes Rydberg (Sheffield) we break down the key climate rulings of 2024, the role of ITLOS and the ICJ in shaping global climate governance, and the increasing legal pressure on corporations. We also unpack the outcomes of COP29 and what’s next for climate law in 2025.
If you're curious about how the law is responding to the climate crisis, this episode is for you.
