Zelle Attorneys to Present at BIICL Short Course on Climate Change and Insurance Litigation
November 25, 2026Attorneys in Zelle’s London office, Jason Reeves and Deepa Sutherland, will present "Climate Change and Insurance Litigation," during the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL)’s online Short Course: Climate Change Litigation on November 25, 2026.
Climate Change and Insurance Litigation
Climate Change Litigation is an increasingly critical component of climate governance at the local, national, regional and global levels, exerting pressure on the executive and legislative branches of government to act on climate change issues. At the same time, climate change-related cases have also been filed against private actors, mostly fossil fuel and cement companies, which are major greenhouse gas emitters. Young people, NGOs and others have taken to the courts to challenge governments' and corporations' actions or inactions.
This course is based around the most compelling practical issues and relevant sectors, while combining the scientific and legal frameworks and obstacles through which climate change litigation takes place. Finally, climate change litigation will be analyzed as a global phenomenon, taking stock of landmark examples at the international and domestic levels, wherever they appear.
This presentation will take place on November 25, 2026, from 4:00–6:00 PM GMT.
