Norton Rose Fulbright’s 2024 Annual Litigation Trends Survey reveals that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are a growing litigation concern.
As regulatory requirements around climate and ESG disclosures take shape while anti-ESG sentiment grows, organizations are increasingly finding themselves caught in the middle.
One in 10 respondents experienced ESG-related litigation last year (compared to just 2% in 2022) – a development we anticipated in our 2023 Annual Litigation Trends Survey report.
Thirty-eight percent of organizations are also concerned about future ESG class actions as issues such as greenwashing, diversity policies and regulatory compliance, go under the microscope.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
