A webinar presented by the IBA Environment, Health and Safety Law Committee and supported by the IBA Litigation Committee
2025 marks ten years since Asghar Leghari successfully challenged the inaction of the Federal and Provincial Government of Pakistan against climate change in the landmark decision of Leghari v Federation of Pakistan, leading to the creation of Pakistan’s Climate Change Commission. Since that time, climate litigation has continued to gather momentum across the globe.
Join Asghar Leghari and legal experts to consider the impacts of the Leghari decision and the subsequent evolution of climate jurisprudence across the globe, including groundbreaking recent advisory opinions delivered by the International Court of Justice and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, as well as future trends.
