Climate Change Law & Science: Exploring the Interplay between Legal Systems and Climate Change Science

Directors: Ivano Alogna, Giulia Galluccio

Location: Villa Vigoni – Lake Como, Italy

July 2026

Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to legal systems, governance structures, and the production and use of scientific knowledge. As these challenges cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries, addressing climate change requires sustained interdisciplinary dialogue between legal scholarship and climate science.

This summer school offers an in-depth, research-focused exploration of the evolving relationship between climate change law and climate science. The course examines how scientific knowledge is generated, assessed, and translated into legal reasoning, regulatory frameworks, and litigation strategies.
