Summary
A study of litigation within the World Heritage Committee reveals a significant connection between heritage site disputes and climate change advocacy, exemplified by the case of Wood Buffalo National Park. The research demonstrates that strategic legal action can drive legislative, policy, and social transformations, underscoring its potential as a tool for climate justice. Employing a case-study methodology, the analysis examines key actors—plaintiffs, defendants, and decision-makers—as well as the claims' substance and outcomes. Initial hypotheses were confirmed, highlighting how litigation in this context can serve as a catalyst for broader environmental change.
