 the front line features a Peruvian farmer suing a German energy company fo

  litigious climate action mean for society as we race to meet climate targ
 ets? And\, with development of attribution science\, how does the future l
 ook?\n\nPanel participants include:\n\n- Prof. Joana Setzer: Assistant Pro
 fessorial Research Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Ch
 ange and the Environment\, at the London School of Economics and Political
  Science\n\n- Rupert Stuart-Smith: Research Associate in Climate Science a
 nd the Law at the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme\n\n- Sam Hunter-Jones: 
 senior lawyer at ClientEarth\, focussing on climate accountability\n\n- Ge
 orgia Elliott-Smith: Managing Director of sustainability consultancy Eleme

 nce at the University of Sheffield\n\nMore info and sign up: https://clima
