Over the past decade, climate litigation has transformed from a niche legal strategy into one of the most powerful forces shaping global climate action. Turning the Tide <\/em><\/strong>charts this extraordinary evolution, telling the story of this David and Goliath struggle through 40 landmark cases that have transformed the landscape of climate justice, redefining accountability, justice, and the role of law in confronting the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

Edited by leading climate litigator Sophie Marjanac, this book brings together the most significant legal challenges of the last ten years – from the groundbreaking Urgenda decision in the Netherlands, to Indigenous land rights victories, corporate accountability suits, and youth-led actions that have captured the world’s attention.<\/p>\n

Each case reveals how courts are compelling governments and corporations to act – and how communities are using the law to demand a livable future.<\/p>\n

With striking imagery and expert commentary, Turning the Tide <\/em><\/strong> is both a record of how far the climate justice movement has come and a call to action for what lies ahead. A vital resource for lawyers, policymakers, activists, and anyone who believes that the law can be a tool for change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
