Global climate action is not restricted to protesting in the streets. Legal courts are increasingly playing a bigger role in the fight for a decarbonised world.  


As cases against companies and even governments are becoming more commonplace, who are the main figures leading the charge? What kind of outcomes are we seeing? And what kind of impact will this inevitably have on the energy transition? 


To answer these questions and more, Sam is joined for this episode by Nikki Reisch, director for the climate and energy program at the Centre for International Environmental Law.
