The Case for Climate Reparations

In 2025, the International Court of Justice -- known as the World Court -- issued a landmark decision on climate change in its biggest ever case, making clear that countries need to rapidly cut emissions to reduce warming to 1.5C. The Court also held that if countries fail to act, they could be liable to pay reparations.

In this lecture, Harj Narulla, Visiting Fellow at Reuben College and a leading global expert in climate litigation, will draw on his experience as counsel for Solomon Islands before the ICJ to map out the case for climate reparations.

To attend the dinner, you must attend the prior seminar.
