The growing concern by consumers around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing and initiatives has led to a rise in litigation against companies regarding their impact on climate change. In turn, new rulings and laws around the world have created heightened responsibilities for companies about climate change, leaving space for potential class and group actions.

Join us for a webinar discussing these new trends and changes in climate law on a global scale, how they could potentially affect corporations, and how to best prevent and manage these class and group action filings.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

  • Trends in US climate change litigation, the effect of recent US Supreme Court cases (Loper Bright and Corner Post), and the potential impact of the US elections
  • Current trends in the EU climate litigation space
  • Impact of the new government on UK climate change litigation
  • Potential class and group actions on a global level due to these trends and changes
