In 2026, IGSD updated its compendium of key climate jurisprudence to reflect the monumental developments represented by the 2025 climate Advisory Opinions from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the International Court of Justice. Summaries and analyses of these opinions can now be found in Annex 2 of the document. The compendium now covers all 3 climate advisory opinions from major international courts and tribunals; the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the ICJ. 

IGSD’s original jurisprudence compendium of key climate cases, published in June 2025, analyzed 28 climate cases from 21 jurisdictions worldwide. 

These cases were selected to highlight the following important themes in global climate change jurisprudence.  

  • Supervision and accountability of state and non-state actors in addressing climate change 
  • Use and importance of climate science 
  • Human rights and climate change
  • States’ obligations under international treaties to address climate change 
  • Judicial development and evolution of legal principles to address climate change
  • Access to justice and legal standing to bring climate cases

Portuguese translation of the original compendium is available here.

Spanish translation of the original compendium is available here.

Portuguese and Spanish translations of Annex 2, incorporating analysis of the ICJ and Inter-American Advisory Opinions on climate, are forthcoming. 

This report presents a comprehensive emission inventory of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) and other non-CO₂ pollutants for the state of Himachal Pradesh, using 2019 as the baseline year. It underscores the urgent need to strengthen focus on non-CO₂ pollutants—particularly SLCPs such as CH₄, BC, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and tropospheric O₃, to mitigate near-term climate impacts, while sustaining long-term momentum on CO₂ mitigation.

Adopting a holistic mitigation strategy, the report analyzes projected trends in SLCP emissions and other non-CO₂ pollutants under a Business-As-Usual scenario through 2047, alongside a set of policy-driven alternative scenarios designed to achieve deeper emission reductions across key sectors.

This study assesses the extent of environmental dumping of new room air conditioners (room ACs) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and explores this practice’s linkages to cooling access and affordability there. It also examines the current state of the room AC market and energy efficiency policies in the region. Covering 11 countries (Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, and Uruguay), the analysis relies on room AC data from 2023 and 2025.
