Duty of Care: The Climate Trials
By Nic Balthazar
"Duty of Care": no one has the right to endanger others if the danger can be prevented. Thanks to the lawyer Roger Cox, this concept has revolutionised the fight for climate protection. States have a duty of care towards their citizens, especially when it comes to action against global warming. Through interviews and trial footage, "Duty of Care: The Climate Trials" goes behind the scenes of the work of Roger Cox, the first lawyer to successfully sue multinationals and states for climate inaction.
