As Joana Setzer, research fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on
Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and
Political Science and co-author of the report, concluded in a press release:

“Litigation is clearly an important part of the armoury for those seeking
to tackle climate change. Court cases contribute to greater awareness of
climate change issues and can force changes in behaviour that could reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. It remains an expensive and potentially risky
option, though, if compared to other routes like policy-making.”
