In The Wave this month, I delved deep into lawsuits trying to hold the fossil fuel industry and other big polluters to account for losses and damages from climate change. Many cases have made progress in US and European courts, but others have reached major roadblocks and face a growing legal and political backlash. Not the shortest feature I've ever written, but a marker of where this important topic currently stands.

Exciting Launch: Toolkit & New Report on the Right to a Healthy Environment! We are thrilled to announce the launch of two open-access resources from NYU Law’s Earth Rights Research & Action (TERRA) Program focused on advancing the right to a healthy environment: '20 Landmark Court Decisions' Report: In collaboration with Professor David Boyd and the UN Environment Programme, this report provides an in-depth analysis of 20 major court rulings addressing environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. It showcases advancements in legal principles like non-discrimination, prevention, precaution, and polluter pays, all written in accessible language. R2HE Toolkit: This first-of-its-kind global database tracks legal developments in the right to a healthy environment and relevant jurisprudence. It offers country-specific profiles, identifies cross-cutting legal practices, and provides key insights for researchers and practitioners. Both resources aim to support the growing global movement for the recognition and enforcement of environmental rights. Read the Report: https://bit.ly/4h9if0r Find the Toolkit: www.r2he.info

Join us! A dynamic week of interdisciplinary exploration, innovation, and collaboration is upon us at New York University School of Law.

With creativity and interdisciplinarity at its heart, the open sessions include keynote talks, interviews, film screenings, book launches, poetry readings, and interdisciplinary performances, concerts, and an exhibit on display throughout the week.? With the hope of building momentum toward a brighter future, both programs seek to transform perceptions and inspire the global community of practice with new ideas about global justice and more-than-human rights and encourage experimentation with new actions, methods, practices that can transform the pursuit of rights and justice for the human and more-than-human worlds.
