Climate Litigation in Ireland, 23 Jul 26

This is a members-only event organised by Legal Voices for the Future. Led by LVF Stewardship Committee member Emily Bradeen, the webinar will begin with a short presentation from Eoin Jackson, a PhD candidate at the LSE Law School and an expert in climate litigation.

Eoin will examine how cases currently before and emerging from the Irish courts could provide a preview of where common law jurisdictions are now headed when it comes to adjudicating climate cases. From challenges to the proliferation of data centres, to cases targeting the State's failure to implement binding emissions targets, to the broader and still-evolving question of how climate considerations are integrated or prioritised within public decision-making, Irish courts are at the coalface of some of the thorniest climate issues of our time. As climate obligations continue to shift from political aspiration to justiciable duty, this talk will show how Ireland's experience offers an early and instructive map of the terrain that other common law courts will soon be navigating.

Conference: Socio-Economic Rights – The Next Chapter, 10 Sep 26

This one-day conference is brought to you by Garden Court Chambers and King’s College London. The event will explore the critical questions facing human rights leaders and practitioners who use the law to advance social change. As the socio-economic duty gains traction with UK public authorities and with commencement of Section 1 of the Equality Act 2010 on the horizon, now is the time to harness and influence the next chapter on socio-economic rights. Panels include:

Practical lessons and insight from Wales and Scotland
Looking ahead to implementation of Section 1 in England
Using socio-economic rights in education, housing, climate, and social care
Advancing and enforcing socio-economic rights with the ECHR and HRA
