Litigation Risk in a Warming World: Climate, Attribution, Quantum
Free and open to all.
London International Disputes Week 2026 are hosting a panel discussion on litigation risks in the challenge of climate change.
Climate‑related claims are rapidly moving from theory to courtroom reality. As attribution science matures, courts are increasingly being asked to grapple with questions of causation, responsibility, and loss in the context of climate harm.
This panel will explore how climate attribution evidence is being deployed and tested in litigation today, how parties are framing causation, and how damages and quantum are being assessed. Bringing together climate scientists, legal practitioners, and quantum experts, the discussion will examine what courts are accepting, where boundaries are still being challenged, and what this emerging risk landscape means for businesses, insurers, and infrastructure owners operating in a warming world.
