The law is a living instrument. And in the face of the climate emergency, it must evolve with us as its stewards.

Let’s keep building the jurisprudence our planet urgently needs.

Climate litigation is not a silver bullet, but it is a powerful arrow in the quiver

Last week, I had the honour of leading a session on “Climate Change before the Courts: Emerging Trends, Theories, and Opportunities” at a training organised by @Greenwatch_Ug & @ug_lawsociety.

It can’t single-handedly reverse the crisis. It’s one of the most impactful tools in the fight, a lever that advocates can pull to hold governments and corporations accountable protect vulnerable communities and spark systemic change.
