“Reservation to science” and “attribution science” in climate change litigation

The paper concerns a particular aspect of climate change litigation, which is likely to become the most advanced arena of debate and confrontation. In this background the paper focuses on the issues related to the “reservation to science”. In particular, it examines the developments of a recent branch of climatology, closely connected to the “reservation to science”, the “attribution science”, reflecting on its contribution to climate litigation, and the conditions that make such contribution effective.
