Mobilising the Rule of Law in Climate Change

Event Details

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL), global law firm Hausfeld and the University of Glasgow School of Law co-host a live and virtual COP26 event 'Mobilising the Rule of Law in Climate Change', featuring a keynote address by Mary Robinson and climate activist Vanessa Nakate, and panel discussions focusing on the role of courts, legislators and private market participants in addressing the climate crisis.

This event builds on the discussions which took place in July at a ground-breaking global summit entitled 'Our Future in the Balance: The Role of Courts and Tribunals in Meeting the Climate Crisis', which resulted in a landmark 'Declaration' outlining the role of the law and judiciary in tackling climate change.
