Climate change litigation is increasing at both national and international levels, as an additional tool to achieve the changes we need to protect the environment and secure a better future for all of us. The Inter-American Human Rights System has always pushed the legal barriers forward and its bodies are considered as world-wide standard-setting institutions. The lecture will elaborate on the recent developments in the Inter-American Commission and the Inter-American Court regarding climate change. It will analyze the Court's Advisory Opinion 23 (2017) on the environment and human rights, and the Commission's Resolution on Climate Emergency (2021), its first document that focuses exclusively on climate change. Furthermore, we will look into the recent case La Oroya vs. Peru, concerning the contamination of the environment as a result of mining activities and its impact on the right to health, and also into the future Advisory Opinion on Climate Change, requested by Chile and Colombia, which is expected to be released in 2025.
