He was joined by two of the other co-editors, Dr. Kate McKenzie and Gastón Medici-Colombo with unfortunately the final editor Lennart Wegener not being able to join. Two discussants, Agnes Rydberg and Norah Gallagher, were present to comment on the book’s content.

Two of the key features of the book were discussed at the book launch: 1) the thread throughout being the litigation journey from strategy to impact and 2) how such a journey can be traced not only in domestic climate litigation, but also within different international regimes.
