The rising frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters worldwide require a detailed examination of climate change litigation (CCL) as a vital mechanism for enforcing climate policies and holding various entities accountable. While existing literature highlights significant global trends in CCL, particularly in the Global North, a critical gap remains in the comprehensive understanding of climate change litigation in countries like India. This oversight undermines the ability to grasp the full spectrum of judicial engagement with climate issues, particularly in the context of socioeconomic disparities. This becomes extremely necessary when working towards climate justice, which focuses on distributive, procedural, and recognitional justice.

The first step in this process is the identification of such court cases and making them accessible to any researcher interested in understanding the role of the court and the governance system which is navigating climate change risks. For this very purpose, this database is available with details about the case. The database is based on the identification of keywords on connected climate change risks in India and provides details on the case laws. The database also provides the original copy of the judgment in the given link so that the content is easily accessible to all. The database also welcomes students, researchers to share cases which they think should be included in the database and grow this database together.
