In 2019, climate litigation continued to expand across world jurisdictions. An increasing number of citizens and NGOs are using legal frameworks to hold their governments and fossil fuel companies accountable for failing to address the climate crisis.

The press conference will gather different campaigners and plaintiffs who are involved in different legal actions to seek climate justice, who will testify about their efforts, their motivation and the impact they have had until now.
