The International Law Association, Queensland Chapter is pleased to welcome DLA Piper, presenting at Level Twenty Seven Chambers.
What will the seminar cover?
As the world inches closer to key climate deadlines of 2030 and 2050, countries likely to be severely impacted by the adverse effects of climate change have sought to clarify States’ obligations under international law in respect of climate change, using advisory opinion proceedings in various international fora.
Join us for a first-hand account from DLA Piper on the critical role of States in advisory opinion proceedings on climate change before international courts and tribunals, including their initiation, litigation, and implementation. This seminar will also consider some of the practical realities of participating in an advisory opinion and representing Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries, and the potential implications of the advisory opinions at both international and domestic levels.
Who should attend?
This session will interest: Dispute resolution, planning & environment, energy & resources and government lawyers; NGO’s; in-house counsel; company secretaries and sustainability officers; arbitration and alternative dispute resolution pracitioners, and those interested in public international law.
