The forthcoming era of environmental law enforcement is anticipated to witness a surge in climate
litigation, a trend that has more than doubled in the past ve years and is expected to persist.
Climate litigation is increasingly becoming integral to securing climate action and justice, as cases
are being led globally to compel nations, localities, and corporations to curtail carbon emissions
or achieve net-zero targets. To enhance climate litigation, attention can be directed towards the
following key areas:

1. Human Rights and Constitutional Safeguards: Numerous climate lawsuits are grounded in
human rights principles enshrined in both international law and national constitutions.
Strengthening these legal protections and utilizing them as a foundation for climate litigation is
crucial for holding governments and the private sector accountable for climate action.

2. Corporate Accountability and Liability: Advocates calling for increased climate disclosures and
an end to deceptive environmental claims are initiating legal actions that address corporate
liability and responsibility. Strengthening regulations and legal frameworks concerning corporate
accountability can enhance climate litigation in this domain.

3. Government Responsibility: Climate litigation has the potential to bolster government

accountability, particularly in nations with signi cant historical responsibilities and greater capacity
to reduce emissions. Successfully addressing the global emissions gap and mobilizing citizens for
more robust climate action can result from e ective climate lawsuits.

4. Global Collaboration: Given the worldwide implications of climate change, international

collaboration in climate litigation is of paramount importance. This collaboration may involve the
exchange of best practices, legal precedents, and resources to fortify climate litigation on a global
scale.

In summary, the outlook for environmental law enforcement suggests a continued escalation in
climate litigation, which can be re ned by concentrating on aspects such as human rights and
constitutional safeguards, corporate liability and responsibility, government accountability, and
international cooperation. These endeavors have the potential to advance climate action and
foster climate justice on a global scale.
