Global Network of Peer Reviewers on Climate Litigation

The Sabin Center's Peer Review Network of Climate Litigation, includes practitioners and scholars from around the world who can review the Sabin Center’s Global Climate Litigation database and ensure that it is comprehensive and up to date. This network will also connect like-minded scholars and engage in conversations on legal arguments adopted in climate litigation. Below are our current contributors to the Global Climate Litigation database

If you would like to join the network and represent one of the jurisdictions not yet covered by the rapporteurs, please fill out this form. For a list of the countries not yet covered by rapporteurs, please visit this page

Check out upcoming events as part of the Network's monthly webinar series here

We also publish monthly updates that highlight changes in our database. They are available here
