SUMMARY:Panel 2: The role of the courts in climate change litigation 
DESCRIPTION:In countries with a strong rule of law and independent judici
 aries\, when there is failure by institutions (government\, corporations
 ) to act according to expected society norms\, it is the judicial branch
  that citizens turn to instead. The failure to act on climate change is 
 one of these instances. Climate litigation has become more common. Last 
 year there was considerable growth in climate cases that\, for example\,
  refer to human rights\, companies act and constitutional violations in 
 their arguments and claimants have become increasingly diverse in their 
 backgrounds\, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs)\, politica
 l parties as well as shareholders and individuals. It is thus imperative
  that judges are ‘climate literate’ as\, in the context of existing lega
 l systems\, they will play a significant role in helping to combat clima
 te change including and\, importantly\, continuing the evolution of comm
 on law in a manner that adapts to society’s changing circumstances and e
 xpectations.
