Climate Change Litigation - Cloned
The Sabin Center for Climate Change Law has become a leading reference in global and U.S. climate litigation. We provide independent scholarship and free access to resources for practitioners and researchers in the field of climate litigation. The Center has become a leader in tracking and analyzing US and global climate change cases through our databases. We continue to expand our Peer Review Network of Global Climate Litigation, composed of practitioners and scholars from around the world who ensure these databases are comprehensive and up-to-date. We also maintain a Climate Attribution database, which serves as a thematically organized repository of scientific information relevant to climate litigation and policy-making.
