Abstract
Abstract This presentation is an introduction to strategic litigation for public health professionals. It will review the opportunities offered by legal action on environmental issues, with examples from past successes. It will consider opportunities in Europe for legal action in both national courts and in international courts and tribunals. Procedural issues affecting the choice of forum will be discussed, such as ‘standing' (the right to initiate a legal action or participate in the proceedings), admissible evidence, the possible orders available if the case is successful, and the costs and risks involved. What if we don't win? Was it still worth it? Broader public engagement and advocacy opportunities will be noted.
