本論文は、スウェーデンの手続法が集団的な環境・気候請求をどう扱うか、欧州法が司法アクセスに与えた影響を検討する。PFAS汚染水訴訟と初の気候訴訟を分析し、集団訴訟の実効性は限定的だが、環境団体の代表適格が欧州法の発展で強化されたと論じる。最高裁は組織的当事者適格を優先し、成功した訴訟でも手続的障壁が残ると結論づける。
English
This article examines how Swedish procedural law handles collective environmental and climate claims and how EU law has shaped access to justice. Analyzing the PFAS drinking-water case and Sweden's first climate case against the state, it argues that group proceedings remain practically limited while environmental organizations' standing has been strengthened by European developments. The Supreme Court favored organizational standing, yet procedural obstacles and litigation-risk uncertainty still constrain effective access to justice, indicating a need for reform.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では気候訴訟はまだ少ないが、環境団体の当事者適格や集団的救済をめぐる議論は、今後の国内気候ガバナンスや企業の訴訟リスク管理を考える上で参考になる。SSBJ開示や有報での気候リスク記載が訴訟リスクと結びつく可能性を示唆する。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper speaks to the growing intersection of climate litigation and corporate disclosure: as TCFD/ISSB-aligned reporting expands, plaintiffs may use disclosed climate-risk information in court. It adds a Nordic procedural-law perspective to the comparative study of access to justice in climate cases, relevant to debates on CSRD-driven accountability and transition-finance litigation risk.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This article examines how Swedish procedural law accommodates collective environmental and climate claims and how European law has influenced access to justice. It analyzes two recent Swedish cases: the PFAS Case concerning contaminated drinking water and the first Climate Case, in which the Swedish state was sued for violating inter alia the European Convention on Human Rights by failing to take adequate measures to prevent climate change. It is argued that, although Swedish law formally provides several avenues for collective litigation, the practical significance of group proceedings have remained limited. Instead, European legal developments have strengthened the role of environmental organizations as representatives of collective environmental and climate interests. The Swedish Supreme Court’s handling of the Climate Case reflects this trend by favoring organizational standing over individual group actions. The PFAS litigation illustrates that even successful environmental lawsuits face significant procedural obstacles. The paper concludes that, despite expanded opportunities for collective action, uncertainty regarding standing and litigation risks continues to limit effective access to justice, indicating a need for further procedural reform.
