The number of court cases related to climate change has rapidly increased all over the world, and has rapidly become a way to support climate action. Because of its novelty, much remains to be explored regarding our understanding of the role of litigation and its links to climate activism.
On behalf of RETOOL, a new Horizon Europe project aimed at strengthening democratic climate governance, we would like to invite you to join active citizens and researchers from Ireland, Finland, Italy and the UK for a hyperlocal discussion on 17th May 2024. The discussion supports the goals set for research on climate litigation and activism.

Discussion introduces a new research project called ReTool.
Over the next 3 years, the ReTool project seeks to both address the climate crisis and also reinvigorate and strengthen democratic processes and structures. The project posits that these are ‘twin challenges’ which are linked, and it seeks to deepen understanding of the relationship between them.
The project has received funding from the European Union’s HORIZON EUROPE Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No101132661.
