Across the world, communities facing the impacts of climate change are increasingly turning to litigation to ask a fundamental question: Who should be held accountable for climate-related harm?
Next Tuesday, November 3, Saúl Luciano Lliuya, the Peruvian farmer and mountain guide behind the landmark Lliuya v. RWE climate case, will join farmer plaintiffs from South Korea’s Ma v. KEPCO case for a special roundtable in Seoul.

⚖️ How can major emitters’ contributions to climate harm be established?
🔬 What role can climate science play in proving causation?
🌱 What do these cases mean for the evolving landscape of corporate climate accountability?
