Climate change litigation: the Hague ruling and its meaning for Italian businesses

Climate litigation is no longer a peripheral legal risk. Courts around the world are issuing rulings that set precedents with direct consequences for governments, corporations, and their advisers.

What were the court's key findings, and why do they matter beyond the Netherlands? How does this decision interact with earlier landmark climate cases? And what does the emerging body of case law tell us about the direction of climate litigation for the years ahead?  Note: This episode is recorded in Italian.
