""Through an anthropologist's lens, Noah Walker-Crawford brings the Lliuya v. RWE case to life and, in doing so, reframes climate litigation as a question of neighborliness and responsibility across scales. This vivid, deeply informed account shows how science, law, and lived experience meet in court--and why it matters for justice in a warming world. A compelling, essential read for lawyers, activists, and scholars alike.""--Joana Setzer, Associate Professor, LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment

Through clear, elegant prose, Walker-Crawford weaves together the suspense of a transnational legal drama with an impassioned analytic that unfolds how legal principles and strategies yielded an improbable case. The Climate Trial is a must read for those concerned about our planetary climate crisis and pathways for securing corporate accountability.""--Suzana Sawyer, author of, The Small Matter of Suing Chevron
