Carlota Ucín and Eduardo Silva de Freitas participated in the International Class Action Conference in Amsterdam on 22 November 2024.

Carlota presented her research on ‘Collective actions on Environmental, Social and Governance topics’. Her paper explores the challenges of accessing justice in public interest litigation, particularly in addressing complex issues like climate change. Drawing on comparative experiences, shecategorizes public interest litigation into three types: structural reform cases tackling systemic human rights violations, collective claims representing specific groups, and ‘individual test cases’ with broader societal impacts. These frameworks provide practical guidance for litigants and judges, offering strategies to channel environmental claims effectively.

Eduardo Silva de Freitas served as an expert discussant for a presentation on the potential role of third-party litigation funding in enhancing access to justice in EU climate litigation.
