Climate Change Litigation in Europe: Comparative & Sectoral Perspectives and the Way Forward (Registration for Accepted Authors)

Event Details

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) and Hasselt University will convene a hybrid event (in person and online) to be held on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 February 2022, from 14:00 to 18:00 (Day 1) and from 9:00 to 13:00 (Day 2) Brussels time (CET).

This conference will aim to take stock of the current developments in climate change litigation in Europe, while addressing in a systematic and comprehensive way the most relevant trends therein. More specifically, the conference will focus both on its comparative perspectives, through some of the most significative domestic experiences, and on its sectoral perspectives: human rights, State responsibility, international trade and investment protection, corporate responsibility and procedural hurdles. Finally, these perspectives will provide the necessary framework to highlight the way forward, taking into consideration the suggestions and proposals provided by practitioners, academic, judges and other experts participating in this discussion.
