Webinar: First Reflections on the Inter-American Court’s Advisory Opinion on the Climate Emergency and Human Rights

On Thursday 3 July, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights is releasing its long-awaited Advisory Opinion on the Climate Emergency and Human Rights. 

In the forthcoming Opinion the Court is expected to clarify the obligations of States to protect human rights by addressing the causes and consequences of climate change, taking into account considerations of equity, justice, and sustainability.

This will create authoritative legal guidance for all 34 Member States including some of the most populous and highest-emitting countries in Latin America, which are bound by the American Convention, such as Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina.

📅 Join us this Friday, 4 July 2025 from 11am–12pm EDT for a webinar that will feature initial reactions and expert analysis, with a focus on what this Advisory Opinion means for strategic litigation, legal enforcement, and vulnerable communities in the region and beyond.
