View event02 / The Lab
Climate litigation is not one field. It is a constellation of claims, courts, communities, and forms of evidence.
The Climate Litigation Lab is an open research platform for tracing those connections. We document the arguments, people, places, and precedents shaping the next generation of climate law.
03 / In development
Lab tools
Tools for building cases from evidence and interpreting the legal developments that may shape them.
Evidence Workspace
Build the evidentiary record alongside the case. Explore demo private records and public sources, then see where each item supports an issue, creates tension, or reveals an evidence gap.
Open Evidence WorkspaceNews
Recent climate cases and legal developments, with concise summaries and Climate Justice Counsel's analysis of what they mean. Rather than duplicating a case database, each entry will add our perspective on the reasoning, implications, and questions the development raises.
