Climate justice may be understood as recognizing the ways in which climate change affects people differently, unevenly, and disproportionately, and as seeking to redress the resulting injustices in fair and equitable ways.

This case study explores the potential of transnational litigation in the pursuit of climate justice. It examines three transnational climate lawsuits filed by individuals or communities from Global South jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region against corporations with high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions before courts in the corporations’ home jurisdictions in Europe. Building on an analysis of these cases, the case study considers how transnational climate litigation can address access to justice, rights protection, inclusion, public participation, and human rights. As the proceedings remain ongoing, the analysis focuses on the legal pathways they open and their potential implications rather than treating their outcomes as settled.
