Really enjoyed everything about this: power of the courts and collective action with parallels to today, similarities and contrasts to the civil rights movements of the 60s, and ability of academics to make meaningful impacts on policy

A great start at #ISA2025, Chicago presenting on #HumanRights, #ClimateLitigation, the #UNFCCC Negotiations. What a rich discussion chaired by Christina Hoicka, discussions by Farrah Brown, and co-panelists @kmo95.bsky.social, Keith Goldstein, and Yasushi Katsuma.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽💻
