With the quick multiplication of climate cases,&nbsp;<strong>databases<\/strong>&nbsp;appear as&nbsp;<strong>key tools<\/strong>&nbsp;in documenting and analysing cases, strategies, and outcomes. These repositories of knowledge have the potential to serve as a foundation for shaping future legal efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the morning session, this seminar will&nbsp;<strong>bring together leading scholars<\/strong>&nbsp;to explore the transformative potential of databases in climate litigation. The discussion will highlight two main climate litigation databases and their contributions to legal and policy advancements: the database on Youth in climate litigation of the University College Cork and the database on Human Rights and Climate litigation of the University of Z\u00fcrich. It will also dive into the methodologies behind the development of such complex datasets, exploring data collection, and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the afternoon session, through the&nbsp;<strong>presentation of the upcoming CLAIM project<\/strong>, it will explore how the upcoming database of the project could be designed to center diverse knowledge systems and empower marginalised actors to drive strategic litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This seminar aims to&nbsp;<strong>exchange good practices<\/strong>&nbsp;and<strong>&nbsp;collect feedback<\/strong>&nbsp;from the experience of key scholars and identify pathways for building an impactful climate litigation database in the frame of the CLAIM project. Join us to contribute to this insightful discussion and help shape the future of climate justice !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provisional programme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Morning Session \u2013 Building and Using Climate Litigation Databases: Methods and Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10am-10:20am \u2013 Welcome coffee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10:20-10:30 \u2013 Introductive words<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10:30 \u2013 11:30 \u2013 Presentation of climate litigation databases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The database on Youth in climate litigation<\/strong><br>Pr.
