The Role of Environmental Litigations in Reducing GHG Emissions

This brief explores the impact of environmental litigations on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, highlighting their potential as complementary tools for addressing global warming. Using panel data analysis and the stochastic IPAT model, the research indicates that climate-related litigations significantly reduce emissions, particularly in high-income countries. These results emphasize the role of judicial interventions in fostering climate action, providing insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
