Climpact — Charting the Landscape of Climate Litigation Impacts — is a research project building the first interdisciplinary framework and open-access database to measure how climate litigation drives real change. Beyond verdicts and headlines, it traces the concrete impact of climate cases worldwide — across law, policy, business and society. A team of legal scholars, sociologists and economists analyses the same body of some 500 cases through their three disciplines at once, so each case is read for its legal, social and economic effects together rather than in isolation. The result is a public, open-access database and a shared analytical framework for understanding what climate litigation actually changes — for courts and lawmakers, for companies and communities. Climpact is a Starting Grant funded under the FIS 3 (Fondo Italiano per la Scienza) call and hosted at the University of Bari Aldo Moro, led by Principal Investigator Giuseppe Naglieri.

A stylized radar

The Climpact mark is a stylized radar. Its white sweep is a radar scan caught mid-turn — the gesture of watching the horizon, catching faint signals and tracking them as they move. It stands for what Climpact does: scanning the world’s courtrooms for climate cases, following their impact across law, policy, business and society, and turning scattered signals into a clear reading of the landscape. It is the same idea that gives our newsletter, Climpact Radar, its name.

Using the mark

  • Give it room — Keep clear space around the mark — at least the height of the glyph — free of other elements or text.
  • Right version — Use the white mark on dark or coloured backgrounds, and the slate version on light ones. Aim for a calm, uncluttered ground.
  • Keep it intact — Do not recolour, stretch, rotate, outline or add effects to the mark, and do not redraw the radar sweep.
  • Minimum size — Keep it large enough for the sweep to read clearly — roughly 24px on screen, or 8mm in print, and up.
