The 2023 report on climate change litigation reveals a growing trend in strategic cases holding governments and companies accountable, with notable successes and emerging categories like 'transition risk'. However, it also highlights the rise of non-aligned cases challenging climate actions and their implementation. #ClimateLitigation #ClimateAction #CorporateAccountability #EnvironmentalLaw The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) https://lnkd.in/gT8pgz23

Universal #ownership theory suggests #investors should #mitigate market-wide environmental and social #risks for financial #benefits. However, in the context of #climate change, the #goal of limiting #warming to 1.5°C faces #challenges regarding financial #optimality and investor #effectiveness. Tom Gosling recommends that investors #focus on attainable #strategies, such as engaging with #companies on realistic goals, supporting favorable #policies, making modest impact #investments, and incorporating climate risks into investment #models, to achieve greater #impact while upholding fiduciary #duties.

Welcome back to our climate science series “Overturning 1.5°C.” In parts 1-3, we discussed how the temperature target of 1.5°C is NOT backed by science or a safe climate target and how global climate politics reflect a new form of colonialism.  In part 4, we’re discussing the crucial role of expert testimonies in legal cases for presenting the best available climate science.  At Our Children’s Trust we are not only committed to protecting youth’s legal right to a safe climate, but also ensuring that courts worldwide adhere to the best available climate science.  We do this by incorporating it into all our cases, collaborating with the best experts in their fields, and supporting other climate litigation as intervenors and by submitting amicus briefs also known as “friend of the court” briefs.  Read part four of our collaboration with @OpenGlobalRights titled “Climate candor: Ridding climate cases of questionable science”: bit.ly/OGR-PART4 #YouthvGov #ClimateRights #ClimateScience #ClimateLitigation #HumanRights #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice 

🎮 Playing to win - human behaviour and climate action In this piece for Oxford Answers, Ximeng Fang writes about his research with Stefania Innocenti on increasing the acceptability of carbon taxation: The role of social norms and economic reasoning. Building and maintaining credibility and trust with the public in this area is a vital driver of success. As the UK prepares for a highly significant #generalelection later this year, the fierce debate around the UK government’s recent rescheduling of its climate commitments illustrates how fragile this trust can be.

Political agreement on #EU fiscal rules is a disaster from an environmental & social perspective and is likely to go down in history as one of the worst deals. New study by New Economics Foundation and CES - ETUC shows that new rules will bring back #austerity & hinder achieving climate & social goals. https://lnkd.in/dwFZd6-a
