Clara Kammeringer is a PhD student in Christina Eckes' project LitDem – Strategic Climate Litigation’s Direct and Indirect Consequences for Democracies. The project develops the missing theoretical framework that captures the direct and indirect consequences of strategic climate litigation for the democratic process based on multi-method case studies of strategic climate litigation in Europe. Clara specifically considers strategic climate litigation's consequences for democratic participation and representation - before court and within the democratic system at large. She researches transnational strategic climate litigation involving non-resident noncitizens and is interested in how these cases might inspire changes to our theoretical understanding of democracies as well as rules on access to justice to more effectively and justly address the climate crisis in its global dimension.

In addition to her research activities, Clara Kammeringer acts as the daily course-coordinator of the Master elective module on Climate Litigation and Investmnet Protection in Europe and supervises Master theses.
