General description
Climate change litigation is on the rise; in addition to ongoing attempts to establish liability for a company’s direct contribution to climate change, more and more claims are being brought against companies for alleged “greenwashing”. Although liability and coverage is questionable, insurers may have to bear defence costs, and there is a risk of case-law change, too.
Contents
The presentation will give insights into the most recent trends in climate change litigation, with a special focus on:
- Types of climate change litigation
- Affected industries and insurance coverages
- Civil-law liability and coverage issues using the example of Germany

- Response of common (re)insurance clauses and the benefits of a climate change litigation exclusion
