Polluters on trial: How climate science is rocking the courtroom
Attribution science is enabling climate victims to sue the world’s top polluters for damages and the first successful case may not be very far away, writes Chloé Farand.

🧊A landmark case brought by Peruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya against German energy giant RWE earlier this year has reshaped how courts view climate liability.
It confirmed a vital legal principle: that polluters can be held liable for climate damages.

"Although the challenging geopolitical and economic context no doubt cast a shadow over the COP in Belém, the final agreement shows that countries are still committed to working together to tackle the climate challenge".

“For countries in the global South on the frontlines of its worst impacts, scaling up adaptation finance is fundamentally a matter of climate justice [...] many harmful outcomes can still be avoided if we work to close the persistent adaptation gap.”

“While NDCs have improved, ambition falls short of the 60% reduction by 2035 required for 1.5°C.
[...] NDCs aren't voluntary suggestions [...] Setting targets that knowingly fail to align with temperature goals may constitute internationally wrongful conduct.”

"COP30 leaves us between a rock and a hard place […] These NDCs have come in hesitantly, inadequately and unambitiously. They move the needle, but insufficiently to confidently avoid 1.5°C or even 2°C of global warming.”

“This COP has been deeply disappointing. It claimed to be a COP of action, but all comments on fossil fuels, and even most comments on deforestation […] have been removed from the final text. Being literally on fire at one point was a fitting metaphor.”

🚰The water crisis experienced by Iran and other countries in the region has been worsened by unsustainable water use and management, rangeland degradation, and agricultural expansion.

⏫The 5-year drought is not an unusual event in today’s climate. However, without climate change similar events would only be expected two to three times per century.
Similarly, rainfall and temperature conditions would have been milder in a preindustrial climate and would not have led to drought.

🌧️Low-rainfall years in the region are now more frequent than they would have been in a world without human-caused climate change, while mean temperatures have increased, drying out the soil even further.

At #COP30, the #LossAndDamageFund launched a call for funding requests – a vital step towards getting climate-hit nations the support they need. But the fund remains dramatically under-resourced.
