In this week's episode Helen Mountfield KC discusses recent legal developments in the US and the UK with Professor Jonathan Marks and David Wolfe KC. Discussion ranges from US cases on the right to a clean and healthy environment, to the legal implications of a new Executive Order on Unleashing American Energy. Across the Atlantic, we hear about recent judicial reviews scrutinising delivery of carbon budget obligations under the 2008 Climate Change Act and the consequences of scope 3 emission reporting for oil and gas licences. In all of this, the role of litigation is itself coming under the spotlight.
