For progressively more ambitious nationally determined contributions to the global response to climate change\, countries need specific domestic measures to reduce emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change on all levels\, and to change the direction of financial flows. Non-Party stakeholders are also invited to scale up their efforts. Since COP22\, the Marrakesh Partnership has focused these efforts through the UNFCCC Race to Zero campaign. In the lead-up to COP26 in November 2021 in Glasgow\, UK\, the UNFCCC High Level Climate Champions have focused on scaling up of efforts by financial institutions and the corporates they invest in\, among many other actors across society. \nThe international conference on Climate Change\, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) & the Law in the Context of Pandemic Recovery\, taking place at the University of Cambridge and online in the week preceding COP26\, will feature keynotes and experts plenary with leading practitioners\, researchers & academics in the areas of law\, climate change\, politics & land economy & beyond\, also special climate law careers sessions for emerging scholars\, junior law and governance practitioners and students. \nThe conference will focus on the following five themes\, linked to the COP26 debates: \n1.  Advancing Paris Agreement Innovations – Progress & opportunities in transparency\, markets & non- market instruments\, finance\, loss & damage\, compliance & implementation mechanisms. \n2.  Scaling-up Climate Legal Frameworks for Action – Effective climate governance\, public and private sector industry-wide\, cross-sectoral and entire value and supply-chain GHG mitigation standards\, rights-based approaches\, loss and damage\, human mobility & climate justice litigation. \n3.  Designing International Interlinkages & Engagement – Climate change in regimes on maritime governance\, biodiversity\, ozone\, civil aviation\, trade\, investment\, human rights\, peace & security. \n4.  Scaling up Nature-Based Solutions for Mitigation & Resilience – Legal & governance frameworks for adaptation & resilience and addressing loss and damage\, conservation & sustainable use of terrestrial & marine & ocean ecosystems\, promotion of sustainable development. \n5.  Incentivizing Climate-Positive Measures to Foster Ambition Towards Carbon Neutrality & Carbon Negativity – State and regional policies & legislation for rapid decarbonisation\, as well as broader public and private international law and policy measures to promote clean energies and incentivize carbon-negative technologies at all levels. \nInvitation to Register: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/climate-change-the-sdgs-and-the-law-in-the-context-of-pandemic-recovery-tickets-168600712269 \nThis Conference is a hybrid event.

Gonthier\, distinguished Canadian jurist\, mentor and friend\, will focus on the legal insights and innovations which contribute to implementing the SDGs in a manner that integrates and respects human rights and justice. Experts\, law-makers\, judges\, scholars and practitioners will consider novel and contextual solutions to a wide variety of legal problems\, gaining inspiration from values that are essential to our society. Justice Gonthier developed these values in several legal domains\, across common law\, Quebec civil law\, and internationally. This special event considers\, critiques and celebrates the developments in Quebec\, Canadian and international law and governance which prioritize the needs and rights of current and future generations\, and seek to deliver the SDGs locally\, nationally and globally. \nThis 2020 International Symposium on Human Rights\, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Law will feature 2 days of academic panel presentations by those working on cutting edge research\, culminating in a special event in the Canadian legal calendar\, the Hon CD Gonthier Memorial Lectures. \nKey themes for the Symposium focus on three pillars identified by the UN OHCHR: \n\nThe transformative shift in legal and development practice embodied in the vision of the SDGs as “an agenda for people\, planet\, prosperity\, peace and partnership.”\nThe comprehensive nature and treatment of human rights in the SDGs\, “including economic\, civil\, cultural\, political\, social rights and the right to development.”\nThe inclusivity of the SDGs in relation to the human rights guaranteed to all citizens and in all aspects of society.

Unlocking the knowledge of the legal community is crucial to rise to these challenges\, empower actors from different sectors and levels of government to understand\, change and use the role of law in taking climate action. To raise this awareness and facilitate this empowerment\, CLGI hosts events each year during and in the run up to the UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties (CoP). With the climate community come together alongside the UNFCCC processes\, the CoPs present a great opportunity to build on the growing climate law community of practice dedicated to contributing innovative legal solutions to the collective climate action effort.\nIn 2018\, our diverse programme was back in Katowice\, Poland for CoP24. \n \nCLGI Exhibit Booth | Dialogue\, Research & Capacity Building Exhibit \nThe CLGI Secretariat in partnership with the Green Economics Institute  held presentations and dialogue for Katowice Zone participants on climate law and governance reform challenges\, materials profiling research into innovative solutions\, and opportunities to network and build synergies for capacity development. Some of the recent work profiled can also be found in our knowledge centre and on the websites of our partner organisations. \nClimate Law and Governance Day | Contributions to Climate Action under the Paris Agreement \nOur annual one-day knowledge sharing event alongside the COP again convened a diverse gathering of over 250 international experts\, scholars\, legal practitioners\, judges\, government delegates\, and climate leaders from civil society and the private sector. For a more detailed description of the day click here. \n  \n \nClimate Law and Governance Specialization Course 2018: Building Capacity for Climate Law & Governance  \nLaws and institutions can help or hinder climate action. They are crucial instruments for promoting sustainable development\, and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low-GHG and climate-resilient alternatives\, as sought by the 2015 Paris Agreement. This interactive capacity-building course introduced participants to timely issues concerning legal and governance challenges and opportunities for the implementation of the NDCs and the Paris Agreement. Participants will be briefed on polices and laws to strengthen adaptation and resilience\, to promote renewable energies and climate finance\, to deliver Paris Agreement transparency and compliance\, to link human rights law\, loss and damages and climate displacement. Participants will earn an official certification for a Climate Law & Governance specialisation\, presented on the day\, and registration is free for low-income country delegations\, organisations and students. \n  \n \nSide Event at COP24:  Advances in Climate Law and Governance – Implementing the Paris Agreement Worldwide \nAmbition in Paris Agreement implementation – and beyond – requires innovative legal and governance solutions\, and green economic tools. International instruments\, regulatory and economic innovations\, compliance and capacity will be key. These interactive expert roundtables shared insights on challenges\, trends and collective actions in legal\, institutional and economic reform\, building capacity for climate action\, managing carbon budgets and halving emissions to 2 tonnes globally. Experts highlighted innovations to implement Nationally Determined Contributions and foster a greener global economy. Findings of Climate Law & Governance Day 2018 were shared\, and global Climate Law Essay Awards were presented to the world’s next generation of climate leaders. \nHosts: CISDL McGill University; CEENRG University of Cambridge & Green Economics Institute \n \n*** URL:https://www.climatelawgovernance.org/event/clgi-at-cop24/ CATEGORIES:past events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20191223T000000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20191223T000000 DTSTAMP:20260511T005757 CREATED:20220609T140253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220614T155324Z UID:1403-1577059200-1577059200@www.climatelawgovernance.org SUMMARY:Climate Law & Governance Specialisation Course 2019: Addressing the Capacity Crevasse DESCRIPTION:On Sunday 8 December 2019\, over 170 candidates registered from over 20 countries for an in-person and online 2019 Climate Law and Governance Specialisation Course at La Fundación para la Investigación sobre el Derecho y la Empresa (FIDE)\, in Madrid\, Spain.

CLGD 2018 followed key preparatory events throughout 2018\, especially the CLGD Roundtable on 05 May in Bonn\, Germany\, and constituted an unprecedented opportunity to share ideas\, debate trends and advances\, and build legal momentum for climate action. The CLGD 2018 international legal symposium built on the success of CLGD 2015 at La Sorbonne Law School during COP21 in Paris\, CLGD 2016 at the Université Privée de Marrakech and Hassane I University during COP22 in Marrakech and CLGD 2017 with the University of the South Pacific and the University of Bonn during COP23 in Bonn. \nHighlights from the Day and Proceedings Report\nThe Climate Law and Governance Day 2018 Proceedings Report\, which provides a detailed summary of the proceedings and outcomes of the day\, is available here. The event programme is available here. Click here to read a summary of the event on the Centre for international Sustainable Development Law website\, and watch highlights from the day below: \nWhat was the focus of CLGD 2018?\nThe focus of the event was on advances in climate law and governance to implement the global climate regime. The themes of CLGD 2018\, as agreed in the legal experts roundtable at the UNFCCC Bonn Climate Conference in May 2018 and in discussion with the partner law faculties and others\, included the following:  \n\nLegal Incentives for Scaling Up Investment in Paris Agreement Implementation – How can new financial flows be encouraged; what are the obstacles and how can they be overcome? What are the roles of new technology and financial instruments\, and how do we ensure that we meet adaptation investment priorities at all levels of governance?\n\n\nAdvancing a Rule of Law\, Climate Justice & Sustainable Development Agenda – How do we support these aspects in an agenda which can deliver climate justice and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? What are the roles of human rights in climate induced displacement? What are innovations in climate litigation?\n\n\nLegal Pathways to Low GHG Emissions Development Strategies – What are the innovations\, policies and measures helping to deliver Paris Agreement aims as quickly as possible (e.g. phase-outs; NETs/BECCS; climate engineering)? What are the legal ramifications for failing to meet the 1.5°C target including legal status\, justice dimensions (e.g. for SIDS)?\n\n\nAdvancing Transparency\, Compliance and Engagement in the Paris Agreement – What is the status of “environmental integrity” in Article 6.2\, and the potential of Article 6.4 on the Sustainable Development Mechanism? What is the status of work around Article 13? What is the status of Article 15 and what can be learned from other MEAs regarding non-compliance? How can other relevant modalities\, procedures and guidelines\, including through the participation of non-state actors\, deliver the Paris Agreement objectives most effectively?\n\n  \nHow can I find out more?\nIf you would like to learn more about CLGD 2018\, or CLGI’s other involvement at COP24\, please contact us at climatelawgovernance@cisdl.org.
