Sußner on "Intersectionality in Climate Litigation"
"Fittingly, ‘KlimaSeniorinnen’ could be (loosely) translated into ‘(female) retirees for climate protection’. This makes their case one of the first gender-based climate cases, alongside Maria Khan v. Pakistan."

We must acknowledge the power of interest groups and their influence on the #IPCC's summary report for policy-makers. The best available science should inform policy (and judicial) decision-making, not a watered-down version most palatable to the economic interests of states.
Scientists from around the world worked on the latest IPCC report for almost a decade.
But according to leaked documents, many of their recommendations were removed or altered significantly.

If you need a brief refresher on all that’s wrong with the UK Bill of Rights Bill, check out how it is assessed by someone who knows what she is talking about - Baroness Hale. Let’s hope this awful bill never makes it into law
Here are the remarks by former @UKSupremeCourt President Baroness Hale, delivered to today's @PACE_News hearing in Paris on human rights reform in the UK:
