This guide, the first in a new series from the Grantham Research Institute at LSE and the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London, explores and reflects on the role of scientific research in climate litigation. It outlines the main types of evidence used across three major case categories and how scientific evidence is utilised by claimants. The guide focuses on strategic climate litigation cases that aim to further climate action, drawing on a range of case studies from around the world:
- Part 1 outlines how science is understood and perceived in climate litigation. It reviews how courts have evaluated and engaged with scientific evidence, reflecting on the different roles played by scientists in the courtroom and the importance of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
- Part 2 distinguishes between the different evidentiary needs present in the three different types of cases. It provides practitioners, non-specialists and those generally interested in the science–law intersection with a clear overview of how different types of scientific evidence have historically been used across climate litigation.
