The Climate Change Laws of the World database provides a global overview of national-level climate change legislation and policies. It covers laws and policies related to climate change, as well as those that promote low-carbon transitions in sectors such as energy, transport, land use, and climate resilience. The Climate Change Litigation of the World database complements this by featuring climate litigation cases from various countries. These cases address legal or factual issues concerning climate science, mitigation, and adaptation efforts before official bodies. The project is a collaboration between the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.
Access to the databases is provided as a research resource.
The Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment is part of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
It is a diploma-level program offering access to two extensive databases: Climate Change Laws of the World and Climate Change Litigation of the World. These databases provide a global overview of national-level climate change legislation, policies, and related litigation cases.
