Case Studies

Real-World Insights at the Intersection of Law and Sustainability

At the Center for Global Sustainability Law (CGSL), we believe in the power of practical application. Our Case Studies explore how legal frameworks, policy innovations, and governance models are being applied in real-world contexts to address urgent sustainability challenges.

Each case study offers a deep dive into specific issues—ranging from climate litigation and energy transitions to biodiversity conservation and corporate accountability—providing valuable lessons, replicable models, and critical reflections for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars.

These case studies aim to:

• Illuminate the role of law in advancing sustainability outcomes
• Share success stories and cautionary tales from diverse jurisdictions
• Bridge theory and practice for legal and sustainability professionals
• Spark new ideas for policy design, implementation, and reform

Explore how legal strategies are shaping more equitable, sustainable futures—one case at a time.
