Joana Setzer

Joana Setzer, an associate professor at the London School of Economics and an expert in climate law and litigation, discusses how legal frameworks can combat climate obstruction. She highlights the growing trend of climate litigation, with over 3,000 cases worldwide, and notable legal strategies employed against corporations. Joana also explores the role of attribution science in court, successful greenwashing challenges, and the impact of the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on climate obligations for states. She warns about legal tactics that obstruct climate action while advocating for stronger protections for activists.
