The frontlines of climate law in 2026 and 2027 | London Climate Action Week 2026

What does the future hold for climate litigation? In this discussion during London Climate Action Week, we brought together legal experts and climate litigators, an investigative journalist, and the Future of the Planet editor at one of the world's largest news organisations to explore where the legal climate fight is headed. The panel discussed key strategies for climate litigation, where environmental justice is most urgently needed, and the role of corporate accountability when governments fail to act. In an increasingly fragmented world where information integrity is under pressure, our speakers also shared why telling the stories behind climate litigation is more important than ever. Speakers: • Ivan Couronne - Global Editor, AFP, Future of the Planet (Moderator) • Adam Weiss - Chief Programmes and Impact Officer, ClientEarth • Kuberan Hansrajh Kumaresan - Head of Legal Advocacy, RimbaWatch • Sarah Mead - Co-Director, Climate Litigation Network • Florencia Ortúzar - AIDA Climate Director and Coordinator of the Climate Litigation Platform for Latin America & the Caribbean • Alex Perry - Journalist and author of Blood Will Flow Hosted by ClientEarth, Agence France-Presse (AFP) and FILE (the Foundation for International Law for the Environment).
