Stichting Advocates for the Future v. Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V. In a new case against Havenbedrijf Rotterdam (initiated on May 12, 2026), the pre-litigation letter does not start with smokestacks or balance sheets. The Port Authority does not extract fossil fuels or burn them. What it does is organise the space, infrastructure, and contractual framework through which those activities occur at scale. In the words of the notice, “enormous quantities of oil, coal and gas are i

In perhaps one of the most important climate cases that is unfolding in 2026, we now have ING's statement of defence in Milieudefensie v ING. In this climate case against ING, rather than targeting a company for its own emissions, the claim focuses on what banks enable through their lending and investment portfolios (financed emissions). The core idea is that financial institutions can be required, as a matter of civil liability, to align their financing activities with cli

Germany’s Federal Court of Justice has delivered a pair of closely watched rulings that go to the heart of a growing question in corporate climate liability: can private companies be required, through civil law, to align their conduct with global climate targets? In its decisions of 23 March 2026, the Court considered claims against a German automobile manufacturer seeking to restrict the continued production and sale of combustion-engine vehicles. The plaintiffs framed their

A cluster of state bills introduced and, in some cases, enacted in early 2026 seeks to limit or preclude liability for harms associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Each measure differs materially in structure, scope, and legal technique. Some operate as broad immunity provisions; others target specific causes of action; still others restructure pleading, causation, and evidentiary standards in ways that would make climate litigation difficult to sustain. Moreover, the bill

A recent judgment from Zambia’s Constitutional Court looks at a question that comes up often in climate governance: what happens after a climate law is passed, and who can hold the government to account if implementation lags behind. The case was brought by Climate Action Professionals Zambia, a group focused on climate awareness and advocacy. It centred on the Green Economy and Climate Change Act, No. 18 of 2024, a law designed to establish Zambia’s institutional framework f

A recent High Court ruling in Tanzania takes on a question that often sits in the background of mining law: who actually controls the benefits that are meant for communities living next to extraction sites? The case came from villages around the North Mara Gold Mine. For years, those communities received the full share of corporate social responsibility funding linked to the mine. The money went into visible things. Roads, water systems, schools, clinics. It was tied to plans

For the past several months, our founder, Loes, has been part of the All Will Rise team as a climate law professional. Here's what she has to say about it: When I first joined the project, I had absolutely no background in gaming. I was very much the newcomer in the room. In fact, during some of the early discussions, I had to ask basic questions about things that were obvious to others, including what exactly an “NPC” was. Over time, though, that initial unfamiliarity turne

A new complaint filed with the Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) by Market Forces is raising questions about how banks (including OCBC) disclose climate-related risks linked to their financing activities. The filing alleges that Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC) may have provided misleading disclosures to investors regarding its exposure to coal-related energy infrastructure. The complaint focuses on OCBC’s financing relationship with companies assoc

We saw two significant developments in February in the field of anti-climate antitrust litigation targeting major asset managers. This is a form of climate-related antitrust litigation in which state authorities and/or shareholders challenge whether large asset managers’ coordinated climate stewardship activities unlawfully restrict competition in fossil fuel markets. A shareholder derivative action has been filed against BlackRock’s leadership in the Eastern District of Texa
