The Climate Mobility Case Database
The Climate Mobility Case Database is a free-to-access global database collating
and summarising judicial decisions concerning all forms of internal and cross border
climate-related (im)mobility. It is co-created by the Global Strategic Litigation Council, Earth Refuge, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute and the Zolberg Institute for Migration & Mobility, with support from DLA Piper and Eversheds Sutherland.
The database is designed to support civil society in their efforts across the world to
effectively advocate for the rights of all people facing displacement in the context of the climate emergency. If you have any feedback or would like to propose new cases to add to the database, please click here.
