Strategic climate litigation on the island of Ireland
Publications: All-Island Strategic Legal Exchange
This report is part of an Environmental Justice Network Ireland (EJNI) project exploring strategic litigation on
the island of Ireland, funded by the European Climate Foundation. The report has been informed by deskbased
research and an initial scoping exercise which involved a small, focused (Chatham House Rules1)
workshop for NGOs and an event bringing together the key players in strategic litigation in Ireland/Northern
Ireland with a view to ascertaining the appetite for collaboration, cooperation, and coordination in this sensitive
area and whether work to translate existing EU level approaches to an Irish context would be a worthwhile
endeavour. This report builds on an NGO workshop undertaken in June 2023 and will be of interest to
environmental NGOs on the island of Ireland, grassroots organisations or individuals considering litigation,
lawyers and legal organisations engaging in environmental litigation, and activists and academics undertaking
research in this area. It will also be of interest to individuals and organisations monitoring the development of
strategic litigation across Europe and internationally.
