Across six sessions, international judges, United Nations experts and leading scholars and practitioners examine how human rights courts are responding to the climate emergency, how climate action is becoming a matter of legal obligation, and how business, trade and investment rules can be reoriented towards sustainable development. The resources also explore Indigenous authority and knowledge, children’s participation, future generations, the rights of nature and the legal innovations needed to advance the SDGs and shape the post-2030 agenda.

The collection also features the 2026 HE Judge C.G. Weeramantry International Justice Awards session, celebrating legal leaders carrying forward Judge Weeramantry’s vision of international law as an instrument of justice, peace and sustainable development. As part of the session, HE Judge Prof. Dire Tladi (International Court of Justice) delivers the 2026 Hon. Justice Charles D. Gonthier Memorial Lecture, reflecting on the responsibilities of international law at a moment of profound global change. The session also recognises the 2026 Award laureates and the HE Judge C.G. and Rosemary Weeramantry International Law and Sustainable Development Global Fellow, highlighting the intellectual courage and practical commitment required to confront emerging global challenges.

Together, these new resources offer students, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers direct access to perspectives from three regional human rights courts and leading international experts. Explore the collection and discover how law can respond more effectively and inclusively to the interconnected crises transforming communities, institutions and ecosystems worldwide.
