Our Visiting Professor Jessica Simor KC on DW News, on how democracy entails fundamental and universal rights, including, now, a right to be protected from the adverse effects of climate change.

I’m in awe of our Visiting Prof, Jessica Simor KC KC, and Garden Court Chambers colleague, Marc Willers KC, who led on seismic KlimaSeniorinnen case, working closely with experts & activists to safeguard our fundamental human right to be protected from “serious adverse effects of climate change”.
A historic judgment
“Inadequate state action to combat climate change exacerbate[s] the risks of harmful consequences and subsequent threats for the enjoyment of human rights”

While we wait for historic judgments at ECtHR this a.m., re consequences of global warming on living conditions & health of individuals in Switzerland, France, Portugal (& 32 countries), here is our Visiting Prof Jessica Simor KC's opening statement in KlimaSeniorinnen case last March.
A historic day.
Here in the UK we too are anxiously anticipating the judgment in the KlimaSeniorinnen, #agostinho and Carême v. France cases.

Thank you Janet Daby MP for working with our Dr Miranda Bevan to identify through research where reform
might be required to protect children in police custody.
We’re very thankful to you and APPG colleagues for leading in this crucial area.

Very proud of you Adam Wagner. Always influencing others through your work: public policy, colleagues, our students, the rule of law.

We were delighted to go on our annual visit to the UK Supreme Court with our Year 1 Public Law students this morning. This year’s visit was even more special as we had many 16-18 year old students with us too, aspiring to study Law, from our Lewisham Law Challenge initiative.
