With the quick multiplication of climate cases, databases appear as key tools in documenting and analysing cases, strategies, and outcomes.  These repositories of knowledge have the potential to serve as a foundation for shaping future legal efforts. In the morning session, this seminar will bring together leading scholars to explore thetransformative potential of databases in climate litigation. The discussion will highlight two main climate litigation databases and their contributions to legal and policy advancements: the database on Youth in climate litigation of the University College Cork and the database on Human Rights and Climate litigation of the University of Zürich. It will also dive into the methodologies behind the development of such complex datasets, exploring data collection, and analysis.  During the afternoon session, through the presentation of the upcoming CLAIM project, it will explore how the database of the project could be designed to center diverse knowledge systems and empower marginalised actors to drive strategic litigation.  This seminar aims to exchange good practices and collect feedback from the experience of key scholars and identify pathways for building an impactful climate litigation database in the frame of the CLAIM project.  Practical Information Date: 15th of June, 10am – 4pm Place: Université catholique de Louvain, Campus Saint-Louis Bruxelles, Boulevard du Jardin botanique, 43 - 1000 Bruxelles  Morning: Salle P61  Afternoon: Salle 3100 Registration via this form To support our commitment to sustainability and minimize food waste, we request that you only register if you are certain to attend, as catering is ordered specifically for each confirmed participant.
