Abstract

Climate litigation is an emerging trend in the Global South. The majority of cases are rights-based, seeking to hold national governments accountable to address climate-related harm. However, Pakistan has initiated proceedings for its first cross-border climate lawsuit against companies situated in the Global North. This development has significant implications within the South Asian context, particularly the shifting trend of climate justice claims.
