SUMMARY:Climate change litigation: who if anyone should be liable? Is lit
 igation the answer?
DESCRIPTION:Climate change litigation is increasingly being used as a too
 l in the global struggle against climate change. Litigation is directed 
 at governments to uphold their responsibilities under national constitut
 ions and laws or international conventions such as the Paris Agreement\,
  while other suits aim at making oil and gas or other energy companies p
 ay damages. This session will present the latest worldwide developments 
 in this litigation. In addition\, representatives of energy companies\, 
 public interest groups and others will discuss the merits of this litiga
 tion and whether or not it is beneficial in combating climate change. Th
 e session will also discuss the projects for an IBA Model Statute on Cli
 mate Change actions and relief and on adaptation and mitigation.
