The discussion will unpack how Thailand’s first-ever environmental class action lawsuit set a powerful precedent for corporate accountability and climate litigation across Southeast Asia. 🌏

After more than two decades of facing toxic mining harm, destroyed livelihoods, contaminated land and water, defamation cases, and corporate denial, nearly 400 villagers from Phichit and Phetchabun won a landmark March 2026 victory against multinational mining giant Akara Resources, a subsidiary of Australia’s Kingsgate Consolidated.

Built through uncompromising legal support, grassroots mobilisation, and international advocacy, the Phichit ruling offers urgent lessons for business and human rights litigation, access to justice, and the growing scrutiny of Australian companies operating overseas.

Featuring:

✴️ Emilie Palamy Pradichit, Founder & Executive Director, Manushya Foundation

✴️ Keren Adams, Principal Legal Director, Human Rights Law Centre

✴️ Nicki Lees, Social Justice Special Counsel, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers

Moderated by Ebony Birchall, Deputy Director, B&HR Access to Justice Lab.
