07 September 2016
In original version of the News Feature 'Courts take on climate change' (Nat. Clim. Change 6, 655–656; 2016) a paragraph was mistakenly truncated. This should have read ‘But it is not all about cutting emissions to mitigate climate change. For Michael Gerrard, director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Colombia Law School, USA, the issue of adaptation could also prove to be an important future avenue for climate litigation.' This is corrected in all online versions.
