Essential climate related law updates across practice areas - Cornerstone Barristers

Join Alistair Cantor and Hannah Taylor for a comprehensive dissection of recent milestone cases and likely future trends in climate litigation in the UK and beyond, focusing in particular on:

• The employment of human rights as a foundation for climate claims, following the European Court of Human Rights’ decisions in Verein Klimaseniorinnen Schweiz and Ors v Switzerland in 2024.
• Environmental impact assessments and scope 3 emissions: cases since Finch v Surrey County Council [2024] UKSC 20.
• Climate litigation in the civil courts, including ‘polluter pays’ cases such as the ongoing claim in Casquejo and Ors v. Shell plc.

This webinar forms part of Cornerstone Climate Month 2026, whereby we will be hosting a series of informative sessions and training webinars exploring the impact of legislation and policy on climate change, and how climate change is influencing decisions across all practice areas.
