Introduction
The climate change litigation database is a part of the research project funded by the Association of Commonwealth Universities as part of their Commonwealth Futures Climate Research Cohort, 2024.
India is highly vulnerable to climate change, but lacks a comprehensive database on climate change litigation (CCL). While the academic focus has been on landmark cases decided by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), many significant cases remain undocumented. This project aims to address this gap by collecting a broader range of CCL cases in India from the High Court and Supreme Court, and the different laws which are connected with the governance of climate risk. The project aims to collate both prominent and often-missed court cases related to climate change in India, focusing on understanding their impact on stakeholders’ exposure and vulnerability. To achieve this, the project will build a comprehensive CCL database, study the selected cases’ impacts, and disseminate findings to stakeholders and the legal education system to enhance legal capacities.
The database was developed with intensive work done by Ms. Avadhi Jain, Ms. Aastha Kapoor, Mr. Tanay Paul, Ms. Aishwarya H, Ms. Meera Adiwarekar and Ms. Saumya Kumar
