SUMMARY:Climate Law and Governance Specialization Course 2018
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn order to raise awareness and strengthen capacity on legal and institutional climate reforms and frameworks\, the Climate Law and Governance Initiative\, which also coordinates the annual knowledge sharing event Climate Law and Governance Day\, will convene a capacity building course with the support of some of its key partners. Building on the CLGI course held last year in Bonn during UNFCCC COP23\, the course will take place alongside the CoP24 on Sunday\, 9 December 2018. As leading climate law and governance experts join over 15\,000 delegates and observers\, the course will provide an opportunity for delegates\, observers and advanced students to profit from the insights of renowned experts so as to deepen their understanding of the legal and institutional mechanisms available to implement their (i) NDCs and the Paris Agreement. \nThis interactive capacity-building course will introduce participants to timely issues concerning legal and governance challenges and opportunities for the implementation of the NDCs and the Paris Agreement. Amongst others\, this includes laws to strengthen adaptation and resilience\, laws of promote renewable energies\, climate finance\, transparency provisions and the Paris Agreement\, human rights law and climate change\, loss and damages and climate displacement. \nDate: 09 December 2018 \nTime: 09:30- 14:00 \nLocation: 11 b Bankowa Street\, University of Silesia\, Katowice \nRegister NOW

Legal Incentives for Scaling Up Investment in Paris Agreement ImplementationHow 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?2. Advancing a Rule of Law\, Climate Justice & Sustainable Development AgendaHow do we support these aspects in an agenda which supports climate justice and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? What are the roles of human rights in climate induced displacement. What are the innovations in climate change litigation?3. Legal 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).4. Advancing Transparency\, Compliance and Engagement in the Paris AgreementWhat is the status of “environmental integrity” in Article 6.2\, and the potential of Article 6.4 SDM? 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?

SUMMARY:Implementing the Paris Agreement in the context of sustainable development: The role of law and governance
DESCRIPTION: \n \n\nDesigning optimal implementation guidelines for the Paris Agreement and ambitious implementation through its Nationally Determined Contributions and other mechanisms is imperative to addressing both climate challenges and sustainable development objectives. Reforming and building robust governance frameworks including legal and institutional reforms is needed to achieve these objectives. As countries and sub-national actors embark on these reforms\, and as non-state actors increasingly add their efforts into the mix\, there is a pressing need for legal expertise\, research\, innovation\, education and capacity building. \n\nThis event explored the role of law\, the legal community and civil society in achieving climate objectives and catalysed the key debates and insights from the discussions at Climate Law and Governance Day 2017 held on 10 November in Bonn. \n\nModerated by CISDL Research Fellow and CLGI Project Advisor\, Ms Alex Scott\, the event began with a keynote presentation from Mr Ayman Cherkaoui\, Senior Advisor to the COP22 Presidency & Lead Counsel of CISDL’s Climate Change programme. Providing an overview of the negotiations underway in the adjacent Bula zone\, Mr Cherkaoui noted a gap in discussion of the law reforms needed for implementation of the Paris Agreement and pre-2020 ambition. He recognised the potential for lawyers and jurists to either foster or frustrate the necessary legal reforms\, calling for the climate law and governance community to collaborate in building capacity and improving their understanding of the legal obstacles and opportunities in responding to climate change. Using a Moroccan case study Mr Cherkaoui referred to particular challenges in ensuring complementarity between multiple stakeholders developing legal and institutional responses to the same issue\, and highlighted the links between climate action and sustainable development as a priority area for future legal research and capacity building. \n\nMs Mirjam Reiner\, CISDL Project Coordinator\, shared some of the key outcomes from the 2017 Climate Law and Governance Day that took place alongside COP23 on 10 November. She highlighted four themes from the day’s expert roundtables to stimulate discussion of the future research priorities to enable legal and governance reforms needed to implement the Paris Agreement in the context of sustainable development. \n  \n\n1.Innovating to Achieve NDCs under the Paris Agreement. \n  \nProf. Wesley Morgan (Univ South Pacific) and Mr. Karim Anegay (Morocco\, COP22 Presidency) discussed with the audience the principal legal challenges and innovations for climate mitigation and adaptation on national and other levels. Recognising the inherent political challenges in achieving law reform to address climate change\, Prof Wesley Morgan explored how legal reform research can be enhanced by monitoring trends in norm tipping points to capitalise on the space created by these norms shifts. Mr. Karim Anegay provided practical examples of Morocco’s use of adaptation metrics to guide implementation of its NDC. Mr Anegay showcased the importance of evidence bases behind legal reforms\, and how evidence gathering can be tailored towards catalysing finance. \n  \n\n2. Operationalizing the Paris Agreement. \nThe panel and audience were asked to discuss how the Paris Agreement Implementation Guidelines discussions were advancing\, and how the treaty and other key accords deliver on the world’s climate ambition. Prof. Pia Carazo of the University for Peace spoke to this theme\, highlighting some of the key discussions taking place on the compliance elements of the Paris Agreement Implementation Guidelines. She noted the scope\, the absence of hard obligations\, the questions around who could trigger compliance mechanisms\, and whether other systemic issues should be differentiated as the key challenges for the negotiations and key areas for the climate law and governance research community to address. \n  \n\n3. Advancing Climate Resilience and Climate Justice. \nDiscussion focussed on how law and governance can contribute to climate resilience\, integrating human rights and addressing loss and damage\, migration and other challenges. In introducing the inclusion of human rights in the Paris Agreement\, Prof. Benoit Mayer of the Chinese University of Hong Kong noted the advancing discussions on the challenges of implementation\, particularly in countries not party to international human rights law. He also highlighted the growing conversation on the challenges of climate induced migration\, noting that while research into the conceptual challenges are valuable\, the implementation gap remains. Prof Mayer summarised some of the key recent climate litigation cases and presented a curious question to the audience of the potential for future cases under international jurisdiction. \n  \n\n4. Enabling Climate Finance and Engaging the Private Sector. \nHow can law and governance enable a greener economy\, scale up climate finance and investment\, and promote low-carbon trade and investment? Mrs. Siham B. Ayad of the Morocco\, CoP22 Presidency case studies challenges in the distribution of climate finance highlighting that institutional environments in many countries are not attractive for public and especially not private resources. Mrs Ayad pointed to the Cop22 climate finance pathway as a means to enable country driven transformation of climate finance environment. She highlighted three themes to the pathway that the climate law and governance community could contribute to – (i) mainstreaming climate considerations into all public planning; (ii) increasing adaptation finance; and (iii) enhancing public leverage of resources. \n  \n\nProf. Dr. Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger of Univ Waterloo and CISDL chaired a final audience discussion on the future legal research agenda\, inspired by the intervention of the event’s speakers. The session was introduced by Dr. Oonagh Fitzgerald of CIGI and raised questions such as how can technologies help us address the questions of causation that are barrier to both litigation and to loss and damage? Recognising the norm shifts around subsidising fossil fuels\, the audience asked how can we mainstream into other regimes of law and governance\, the “climate and” agenda? Further research was called for into how we can integrate the SDGs as well as how to strengthen access to justice\, noting that litigation is contributing to reshaping the politics. \n  \n\nAlso check our twitter for more pictures and updates from the event.

SUMMARY:Climate Law and Governance Day 2017
DESCRIPTION:Background\n  \n \n\nLegal and institutional transformations are needed to support global and local efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels\, to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and to foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development\, and to make finance flows consistent with a pathway towards such development. Indeed\, over 160 countries have stressed the importance of legal and institutional reforms in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) submitted to deliver on the Paris Agreement\, with more than 50 of these countries specifically stressing the need for climate legal and institutional capacity-building to be able to achieve their objectives. The many delegates and experts who gathered for COP23 included many leading climate law and governance experts of the world presenting a unique opportunity to share ideas\, debate trends and advances\, and build legal momentum for climate action. \nDownload and read the full proceedings report here. CLGD 2017 Proceedings Report. The latest version of the programme for the day is available here. You can also click here to download biographies of the speakers and chairs. \n\nCLGD 2017 welcomed over 270 jurists\, legal researchers\, IGO officers\, parliamentarians\, delegates\, legal professionals\, students\, and professors\, to discuss the research and capacity building obstacles and opportunities to addressing these legal and institutional challenges. The Day drew from the expertise of more than 100 expert speakers to catalyse discussion amongst this diverse audience over fourteen plenary\, roundtable and workshop sessions. These discussions built on key preparatory events held this year\, especially Islands Rising to the Climate Challenge: The 2017 Pacific Climate Law and Governance Symposium on the 20th of October 2017 at the University of the South Pacific in Suva\, Fiji\, following the Pre-COP23 Climate Change Conference in Fiji. \n \n\nThe Day was chaired by co-hosts Prof. Dr. Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger of CISDL\, Prof.Dr. Wolfgang Durner of Univeristy of Bonn\, and Prof. Wesley Morgan of the University of the South Pacific. It opened with keynote addresses from The Hon Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum\, Attorney-General & Minister Responsible for Climate Change\, Fiji as well as leading climate law practitioners Dr. Martijn Wilder (Senior Partner\, Baker & McKenzie LLP) & Dr. Dörte Fouquet (Senior Counsel\, BBH). \nSessions held during the day \nThe discussions and sessions during the day were guided by four main themes. The guiding themes explored questions such as: What are the principal legal challenges and innovations for climate mitigation and adaptation on national and other levels? How  law and governance enable a greener economy\, scale up climate finance and investment\, and promote low-carbon trade and investment.? How can law and governance contribute to climate resilience\, integrating human rights and addressing loss and damage\, migration and other challenges? How are Paris Agreement Implementation Guidelines discussions advancing? How does the treaty and other key accords deliver on the world’s climate ambition? \nThe first theme of the day Innovating to Achieve NDCs under the Paris Agreement was at the core of four sessions co-hosted by nine different organisations. The debates focused on the following topics \n\nThe session on Strengthening the Paris Agreement through Innovation in Open Government co-hosted by WRI and Transparency International explored the role of law in co-creating (innovative) climate policies and how the implementation guidelines for the Paris Agreement further promote the implementation of participatory and transparent actions at the national level\nThe UNFCCC Secretariat\, UN Environment and the Commonwealth Secretariat introduced the newly developed Law and Climate Change Toolkit during a session titled Supporting Paris Agreement Implementation through a Law & Climate Change Toolkit\nGIZ and WRI co-hosted a session on Implementing the Paris Agreement Sub-Nationally – Legal Barriers & Instruments for Improving Multi-Level Climate Governance. The participatory workshop considered on-going and needed innovative reforms and instruments in the area of multi-level governance\nDuring the session Legal Innovations in Highly Climate Vulnerable Countries for Climate Resilience & Food Security\, which was co-hosted by GoDAN and CISDL the question on how law and policy reforms and new developments including on climate-smart agriculture\, open data\, and improved information and knowledge exchange can be combined to contribute to achieving the objectives in the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goal 2.\n\nThree sessions hosted by four CLGI partners primarily focused on the theme Enabling Climate Finance and Engaging the Private Sector: \n\nA session co-hosted by EBRD and CISDL on Fostering Climate Adaptation Investments – Contributions of Public & Private Governance. During the discussions\, experts explored how carefully crafted national laws and institutions can create a favorable investment climate to support climate adaptation using examples from  countries such as Morocco\, Kazakhstan and Jordan promote climate action on adaptation.\nThe session Governing Disruptive Technologies\, co-hosted by CIGI and Greentrack Strategies\, considered how to face the wicked threats and limitless opportunities of digital and low carbon economy convergences\, new governance models and unstable financial systems. The discussions considered how to organize essential tools of technologies\, practice\, metrics\, exchange mechanisms and finance and contemplated how to design to standards and clear incentives for climate adaptation.\nTransforming Economies for Sustainability – Incentivizing Low-Carbon Investment Featuring BIICL\, EBRD\, IDB\, GCF\, this plenary session drew on multilateral development bank and academic expertise to discuss how private and public investment can be catalyzed towards low carbon pathways.\n\nFour different sessions involving ten different organisations centred on the theme Advancing Climate Resilience and Climate Justice: \n\nMIT\, Carbon Climate Law Review and the Schulich School of Law explored Promoting Climate Justice through Legal Reform & Litigation.\nOperationalizing Linkages between Human Rights and Climate Change was at the centre of a session co-hosted by CIEL\, UN-OHCHR and the German National Institute for Human Rights\nProfiling the Pivotal Players – Pacific Islands in Global & Regional Climate Regimes was jointly hosted by the University of South South Pacific\, United Nations University and the Pacific Island Forum Secretariat\nClimate Change\, Human Rights & Forced Displacement was hosted by the Law Department and  Global Refugee Studies of the Institute for Culture & Global Studies at Aalborg University. In exploring the nexus between these topics it among others examined the extent to which international law and governance prepared to integrate human rights and climate change and to protect displaced people. It further considered linkages between forced displacement and adaptation and the mechanism of loss and damage under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement and contemplated the feasibility and merits of a Protocol to the UNFCCC based on adaptation.\n\nTwo sessions co-hosted by four session hosts focused primarily on Operationalizing the Paris Agreement and this theme was a major thread throughout the day. \n\nThe Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) hosted a session on Advancing Transparency & Accountability under the Paris Agreement – A Research Agenda.\nStrengthening Global Climate Law Capacity & Compliance was co-hosted by CISDL\, International Law Association and the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law at the University of Cambridge. It both considered the compliance and capacity building and legal education required to deliver legal and governance instruments that deliver higher ambition.\n\n  \n**** \n\nFor more information and images from the day visit our twitter profile where we and our partners have shared information throughout the day. \n  \n\nDownload and read the full proceedings report here. CLGD 2017 Proceedings Report.

SUMMARY:2017 Climate Law and Governance Specialisation Course
DESCRIPTION:A full day capacity building course alongside COP23\nWith leading experts joining delegates and civil society actors this course offered annually alongside the COP is a unique opportunity to strengthen personal\, professional\, and academic knowledge bases on the legal aspects of the Paris Rulebook and its implementation. CLGI’s secretariat assisted its partners in coordinating the 2017 course to prepare 45 delegates and students for the challenges in negotiating and implementing the Paris Agreement Implementation Guidelines. \n \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. \n\nIn order to raise awareness and strengthen capacity on legal and institutional climate reforms and frameworks\, the Climate Law and Governance Initiative convened a capacity building course with the support of some of its key partners and associated experts. Building on the CLGI course held in 2016 in Setatt during UNFCCC COP22\, the course took place alongside the CoP23 on Sunday\, 12 November 2017. \n\nThis interactive capacity-building day introduced participants to timely issues concerning legal and governance challenges and opportunities for the implementation of the NDCs and the Paris Agreement. With the event booked to capacity\, forty five delegates\, civil society representatives and students took part in the day. \nThe course was opened by Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger (Senior Director \, Centre for Intl Sust Dev Law (CISDL) / Full Professor\, Univ Waterloo)\, Oonagh Fitzgerald\, Director (ILRP\, Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI))\, Cosmin Corendea\, (Legal Expert\, United Nations University (UNU)) and Maria Socorro Manguiat (Head\, National Environmental Law\, Law Division UN-Environment). \n  \n \n  \n\nSilvia Maciunas (Deputy Director\, KILRP\, CIGI) set the scene for the different modules of the course by providing an introduction on Foundations: Understanding the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC. \n  \n\nThe first module focused on Law\, Governance & Climate Mitigation  \nInstructors: Dane Ratliff (Senior Research Fellow\, CISDL on climate mitigation / NDCs)\, Markus Gehring (Law Lecturer\, BIICL/University of Cambridge) & Michael Mehling (MIT / Strathclyde Univ LLM on international emissions trading & flexibility mechanisms under the Paris Agreement) \n\nThe second module examined Law\, Governance & Climate Adaptation/Resilience \nInstructors: Ayman Cherkaoui\, (Lead Counsel\, CISDL) Hafij Khan (Executive Director\, Climate Justice Centre – Bangladesh) & Margaretha Wewerinke (University of the South Pacific on Climate Justice) \n\nThe third module focused on Climate Finance\, Transparency & Accountability  \nInstructors: Christopher Campbell-Durufle (Legal Fellow\, CISDL)\, Benoit Mayer\, (Legal Fellow\, CISDL)\, Marilyn Averill (Senior Fellow\, Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources\, Energy and the Environment at the University of Colorado Law School & Steering Committee\, UNFCCC RINGOs). \n\nCertificates were awarded to the participants by Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger (CISDL)\, Cosmin Corendea (UNU) and Oonagh Fitzgerald (CIGI)

SUMMARY:Climate Resilience: What’s Law Got To Do With It?
DESCRIPTION:This roundtable event took place alongside the Partnership Day during the pre-COP in Fiji. The event capitalised on the mobilisation of the climate law and governance community to Fiji for the Pre-COP.\n \nIn framing the issue\, Professor Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger (Centre for International Sustainable Development Law) highlighted the role of law and governance in helping or hindering climate action. She discussed how current regulatory and financial regimes still frequently continue to privilege carbon-intensive\, unsustainable options. However\, she also argued that it is still possible to limit the increase in global temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial level if major regulatory\, institutional\, economic and technological transformations are carried out immediately. \nZooming in on climate resilience\, she suggested that enabling legal framework supported by the rule of law can strengthen capacity to adapt and promote resilience to climate change. In this context\, she also discussed four concrete areas in which legal and institutional reform can contribute to climate change adaptation. First\, good governance and integrity in construction regulation enforcement\, including building codes\, can prevent high casualties from natural disasters\, especially among the most poor. Second\, equitable and gender-sensitive water resources management governance systems improve access to safe drinking water by marginalized people. Third\, human rights protection in eroding coastal zones secures better implementation of coastal planning policy\, protecting the most vulnerable. Fourth\, accessible institutions and clear rules contribute to compliance\, equity and access to justice\, preventing corruption\, exploitation\, administrative barriers and lack of effective climate policy enforcement. \nProfessor Cordonier Segger ended her presentation by pointing to the importance of considering laws at all levels – sub-national\, national\, regional and global – and stressing the imperative of making sure to include all stakeholders in drafting and implementing new legal and institutional frameworks. \nFollowing the opening speech\, Chitra Massey (UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the Pacific) explored the importance of human rights law in the context of climate change and forecast the work of OHCHR Pacific to safeguard the rights of all those vulnerable to climate change. Focusing on the Pacific she laid out how it will be necessary to strengthen human rights commitments on food\, health\, access to justice\, education and employment. In the same context\, she highlighted in particular the challenges that are and will be raised by climate displacement and the need to develop a strong framework of (human rights) protection. Lastly\, she described ongoing and planned efforts by UNOHCHR in the area of climate change and law including the development of a law course on human rights defenders to be offered in 12 different campuses by 2018. \nWesley Morgan (University of the South Pacific) focused on the role of Pacific Islanders in the international governance system as well as ongoing normative change. He highlighted the unique moral authority of Pacific Islanders in influencing the rule development. Further\, he also examined the influence of norm changes and global politics on governance framework\, using the example of the fossil fuel industry. \n  \nLooking at the role of law in addressing climate change more broadly\, Markus Gehring (University of Cambridge/British Institute for International and Comparative Law)\, focused in his his contribution especially on international (economic) law. He sketched the development of the legal climate change framework on the international level and illustrated how climate change is included in an increasing number of agreements and instruments including for example Fiji’s trade policy. Further\, he elaborated on how there are numerous indeterminate terms in law\, including business law\, insurance law or human rights law and how these indeterminate terms can be given meaning by being interpreted in the light of the climate instruments and treaties and the Sustainable Development Goals. \nJames Cameron (ODI/Systemiq) provided the closing key note for the event. Describing the huge body of international law relevant to building resilience\, he then explored efforts and tools to build a stronger framework to address climate change. He skillfully introduced the audience to the interaction between the international law on state responsibility\, climate litigation and the resulting law creation on the local and national level. Addressing both the legal experts and those with a lesser background in law\, he described the different grounds for bringing a claim in front of national or international tribunals and courts. In doing so\, he explored the role of human rights and constitutional law in the growing body of climate change litigation as well as other options on how courts and law can be used in the future to further climate action and justice. \nThe event was moderated by Ayman Cherkaoui (COP22) who guided the discussion and stimulated debate throughout the event. \n

SUMMARY:Climate Law and Governance Specialization Course
DESCRIPTION:Legal processes and instruments are important considerations in responding to climate change and serve as essential vehicles for implementing policy precepts and objectives across many sectors and fields that relate to climate law and governance. As such\, both formal and informal rules are crucial in providing incentives and compliance mechanisms to regulate human behaviour as well as steer the action of government agencies and legislative entities. Further\, legal mechanisms can help establish safeguards to protect the vulnerable\, solve disputes and contribute to international cooperative efforts. At the same time\, however\, existing legal frameworks may pose obstacles to climate action and fundamental reforms of existing economic and environmental regimes required for effective responses to climate change.\nThe importance of these legal considerations and interventions is reflected in the (i)NDCs submitted by parties to the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. The vast majority of party submissions highlight the need for institutional and legal reform in order to achieve their national contributions. In addition\, many developing countries use the (i)NDCs to call for legal and institutional capacity building support. \nIn response to these needs\, the Climate Law and Governance Initiative\, which also coordinates Climate Law and Governance Day\, the annual knowledge-sharing event\, will convene a capacity building course that builds on the CLGI course held last year in Setatt during UNFCCC COP22 to address these issues. The day-long course will take place alongside the COP23 on Sunday\, 12 November 2017 and will be offered in conjunction with the CLGI’s international partners. As leading climate law and governance experts join over 15\,000 delegates and observers during COP23\, the CLGD’s capacity-building course will provide an opportunity to for delegates to profit from the insights of renowned experts and deepen their understanding of the legal and institutional mechanisms available to implement their (i)NDCs and the Paris Agreement \nObjectives of the Course\nThe overall objectives of the course are to increase and enhance the capacity of national delegates and observers to the UNFCCC COP processes to understand the legal and governance challenges involved in responding to climate change on the national and international levels. This necessarily includes strengthening the capacity of the target to respond to and address the challenges raised in the (i)NDCs and climate change action. Specifically\, this course will enable participants to engage with and contribute to current key debates\, as well as areas of focus and growth\, in climate law and governance. These will be centered on the lessons of the Paris Agreement. These topics include: \n– Paris Agreement\, law and mitigation;\n– Paris Agreement\, law\, adaptation and loss/damage;\n– Paris agreement financing\, transparency and accountability;\n– Paris Agreement and REDD+;\n– Paris Agreement\, human rights and migration;\n– Identify common legal and institutional barriers to climate action on the national level and methods of engaging institutional actors in discussions on climate action;\n– Find useful online resources and tools on climate law and governance issues and know how to use them in practice; and\n– Understand the process for legal preparedness assessments and the importance of legal preparedness assessments as tools for development and change. \n  \nVenue\nThe Law & Governance Specialization Course will take place at the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS)\, at Platz der Vereinten Nationen 1\, 53113 Bonn\, Germany\, thanks to the generous support of our partners at UNU. \nHow to Register\nTo register\, please visit the event’s Eventbrite page. Registration closes 8 November.

SUMMARY:Climate Law and Governance Day 2016 Event Report
DESCRIPTION:Climate Law and Governance Initiative welcomed Université Privée de Marrakech\, Hassan 1ier University\, and Cadi Ayyad University into its worldwide partnership of leading universities\, law associations\, judicial institutes\, inter-governmental organizations and foundations\, to advance implementation of the Paris Agreement. Together with these new partners\, the coalition of CLGI partners hosted a series of seminars\, conferences and symposia world-wide\, culminating in the second annual Climate Law and Governance Day on Friday 11 November 2016\, as an official CoP22 side event. \n \nDownload the full proceedings report here. \n \nThe event drew an audience of over 260 government delegates\, law and policy practitioners\, academics\, and students to the beautiful and ecologically friendly forum hall and university grounds of UPM. Through intergovernmental plenaries\, plenary keynotes\, expert roundtables and participatory workshops\, the participants discussed the law and policy reform elements of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Paris Agreement\, the Climate SDG\, and the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol. Substantive discussions enabled knowledge sharing and the setting of priorities for legal and institutional capacity building to implement the reforms inherent in the NDCs. \nOn Saturday 13 November\, the outcomes of this one-day symposium were reported back to delegates\, observers and other stakeholders in an official event at the COP22 Bab Ighli site. The high level feedback session summarised the day’s analysis of the trends\, challenges\, and opportunities for innovation across four themes: climate instruments\, climate finance\, climate litigation\, and climate justice.\nThroughout the discussions\, the high level panels of general counsel and leadership of the CLGI partners referred to the variety of legal tools and instruments available and the need to bring them together to address climate change and make law work for people. Further\, they agreed that new instruments and innovative approaches will be needed and that much remains to be done for the legal community to do its part in responding to the challenges posed by climate change. They identified trends\, challenges\, and opportunities.\nIn tracking climate litigation\, they noted an increasing number of climate change cases being fought and won in domestic courts\, and the resulting need for education amongst judiciary and legal practitioners.\nIn mobilising climate finance\, CLGD experts noted the advent of private sector investors and the diversity of issues presenting obstacles to incentivising climate finance. They called for legal creativity to address these obstacles and for clarity in the interaction with international economic law.\nIn highlighting innovative climate instruments\, they noted the increasing plurality of actors and sectors involved in climate law and governance and emphasised the need for law and policy integration and creativity to address fragmentation challenges.\nIn promoting equity and climate justice\, CLGD experts also highlighted the trend towards formal recognition of the importance of justice considerations to climate change law and governance.\nClimate Law and Governance Day helped to set an agenda for future legal and governance research\, and to identify priorities for capacity building efforts to assist policy makers to implement necessary legal and institutional reforms to action NDCs. By engaging students\, both international and local\, and discussing opportunities to align policy teaching with the new international climate regime\, the partnership also helped to support the next generation of law and policy makers.\nIndeed\, students from leading universities of the world were awarded medals in a global essay competition\, showed posters of their research projects\, and performed a competitive moot in for world-class international expert judges during the day. These activities built capacity\, shared energy and new ideas\, and provided inspiration for action. An announcement of the winners can be found on our Student Involvement page.\nThe organisers would like to express our greatest thanks to the 2016 Climate Law and Governance Day Programme Committee\, student volunteers\, and contributors.

SUMMARY:UNFCCC COP22 Side Event - Legal Innovations in Haiti and Other Climate Vulnerable Countries
DESCRIPTION:Legal Innovations in Haiti and Other Climate Vulnerable CountriesSide Event at the 22nd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change\, Wednesday\, November 16th\, 2016 \nHeld in collaboration with GODAN and the Government of Haiti\, this panel discussion and interactive dialogue with Parties\, donors and experts examined the law and governance aspects of implementing the Paris Agreement in highly climate vulnerable countries. 156 of 187 countries prioritize legal and institutional reform in their (I)NDCs\, seeking to address inadequate current frameworks and governance challenges. Countries that are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change require strong laws and institutions\, backed by new legal knowledge\, education and public participation\, yet often have the least resources with which to work. The panel\, therefore\, focused on both the challenges of climate adaptation and loss and damage in their countries\, as well as law and governance innovations to address these challenges for climate compatible sustainable development. \nSpeakers included:\nMr. Joseph Vernet (Chief of Staff for the Minister of the Environment\, Haiti)\nProf. Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger (Executive Secretary\, CLGI; Senior Director\, CISDL; Waterloo)\nProf. Kénel Delusca (Team Leader\, AP3C/EU)\, “Adaptation to Climate Change in Haiti: Challenges of the Context Post-Matthew”\nMr. Christin Calixte (Coordinator\, PSC-CC) & Ms. Mélissa Day (Representative of the Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve & Wynne Foundation)\, “Climate Justice in Haiti”\nMr. M. Hafijul Islam Khan (Executive Director\, Centre for Climate Justice – Bangladesh; Bangladesh Delegation)\nMr. Andre Joseph-Witzig (Environmental Officer at the Ministry of Education\, Human Resource Development and the Environment)\nDiscussants\nMs. Katherine Lofts (Programme Coordinator for Climate Change\, CISDL)\nMr. André Laperrière (Executive Director\, GODAN)\nMr. Paul Judex Edouarzin (Environmental Governance Expert\, UNEP)\nMs. Alexandra Scott & Ms. Mirjam Reiner (Climate Law and Governance Initiative Project Coordinators\, CISDL)

SUMMARY:A Review of the One-Day Climate Law & Governance Specialization Course
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, over 60 NGO leaders\, environmental lawyers\, local government representatives\, students\, and other key stakeholders participated in the Climate Law & Governance Specialization Course hosted by the international Climate Law & Governance Initiative (CLGI) with new partners\, Université Hassan 1er in Settat. The course was a side event to theUNFCCC 22nd Conference of the Parties (COP22) in Marrakech. The one-day legal and institutional reform capacity-building experience was led by international\, regional\, and national experts to promote effective implementation of the recent Paris Agreement. The course brought together experts to discuss an array of subjects in the context of implementation\, including trade in clean energy technology\, human rights and climate justice\, international legal frameworks around mitigation and adaptation\, and effective implementation at the domestic (national and sub-national) level.\nThe first session introduced participants to the legal and governance challenges for clean technology transfer. The lecturers included Dr. Markus Gehring with the University of Cambridge and the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)\, Dr. Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty\, also with CIGI\, and Mr. Mahesh Sugathan with the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development\, and it was coordinated by Oonagh Fitzgerald from CIGI. “There exists no free trade in clean energy technology at the moment\,” remarked Dr. Gehring. He also pointed out the difficulty of encouraging trade in light of the disparate tax\, customs and IP laws of the state actors involved. Dr. Aganaba-Jeanty urged attendees to consider how the emerging international IP regime\, as well as the larger trade of clean technology\, can be tailored to developing countries—and called on the international community to be more inclusive in the dialogue on international tax and IP law\, and urged developing country delegates to get involved. Mr. Sugathan highlighted domestic and international tech standards as both a potential facilitator and potential hindrance to efficient technology transfer\, concluding that “the jury is still out” on which it is. He also encouraged the international community to be open to working with the domestic level in crafting local standards\, to ensure adherence to technical specifications that can open access to international markets. While it is clear that there is debate as to the best path forward to increase the efficiency and equitability of trade in clean energy technology at the international level\, each panellist agreed that the domestic level must be an active player\, and cooperation among and within developed and developing countries is essential. “South-South cooperation is important\, as well\,” Dr. Aganaba-Jeanty affirmed. She concluded her talk by posing questions to participants: “How do we develop our own ambitious technologies? How do we galvanize our own capacities\, rather than first engaging with/relying on the West?” \nHuman rights and climate justice was the focus of the first afternoon panel of the day. The panel of experts ranged from human rights legal scholars like Dr. Cosmin Corendea of United Nations University and Dr. Benoit Mayer from Chinese University of Hong Kong\, to those working on environmental justice on the ground\, including attorney Maître Erick J. Kassongo of the Centre Congolais pour le Développement Durable. In his presentation\, Dr. Corendea discussed the mounting gravity of climate/environmental migrants and refugees. “Right to life\, right to housing\, [and other human rights concerns]\, are all connected to climate change\,” he urged. With sea levels rising and extreme weather events increasing\, the number of displaced people is bound to increase—and the current international legal framework to address refugees and migrants falls short of providing a path forward. Maître Kassongo further highlighted the inextricable connection between climate change and human rights\, and the need to bring more attention to the issue in the face of insufficient legal frameworks. He pointed out that\, while the Preamble to the Paris Agreement references human rights\, the text itself fails to discuss it. Mr. Kassongo encouraged attendees to engage with domestic human rights laws\, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals\, to bring about progress in dealing with the Paris Agreement. Dr. Mayer brought attention back to international environmental law and scholarship\, pointing to particular conventions\, treaties\, and other environmental agreements that instill in States the obligation to protect the environment and its citizens. \nThe final session of the course connected the global with the local in the context of implementing the Paris Agreement. In particular\, the panelists discussed how international NGOs and local actors are working with stakeholders to provide resources for implementation. Mr. Ira Feldman\, with the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute and International Standardization Organization\, along with Dr. Julien Prieur of Centre International de Droit Comparé de l’ Environnement (CIDCE) and Université de Limogos\, and Mr. Christopher Campbell-Duruflé of the University of Toronto and CISDL\, represented the level of international NGO and research institutes\, while attorneys Joyce Melcar Tan and Samantha Sy of the COP22 Philippine Delegation and Ateneo de Manila University discussed domestic implementation. Mr. Feldman called attention to the increasing importance of international and national voluntary standards for mitigation and adaptation under the Paris Agreement\, pointing to the work his organizations are doing to harmonize standards across various levels of government\, and collaborate with the UNFCCC to “fill in the gaps” on those standards. Dr. Prieur highlighted the importance of small-island states both in the formulation of the Paris Agreement\, as well as its implementation. With 1.2 billion people living in these areas that are so vulnerable to climate change\, their voice must be heard throughout the years ahead\, he urged. Mr. Campbell-Duruflé emphasized transparency as being an essential element in the Paris Agreement\, especially in its implementation. He offered three recommendations for stakeholders charged with executing the agreement: (1) place knowledge at the center of transparency\, (2) facilitate capacity-building and awareness-raising\, and (3) ensure regular review. Attorneys and COP22 Philippine delegates Joyce Melcar Tan and Samantha Sy provided a path forward for implementing the Paris Agreement\, using the Philippines as a case study that provided fruitful examples for participants. The two legal experts have been advising the current Philippine government on ways to integrate climate change mitigation\, adaptation\, and disaster relief into its “Ambition 2040” plan. For effective integration\, they recommend the government focuses on data collection\, institutions already in place\, effective financing\, citizen collaboration\, and engagement with the private sector. \n  \nRapporteur: Meredith Kellder (University of Cambridge)

SUMMARY:SB46 Climate Change Studio Side Event – Legal Enablers For Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:This side-event\, coordinated by the Climate Law and Governance Initiative (CLGI) and hosted by the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL)\, took place at the Climate Change Studio convened by the UNFCCC Secretariat during the Bonn Climate Change Conference 2017 (SB 46 / SBSTA 46 / APA 1-3).\n  \nThe event profiled the newly formalised cornerstone of the CLGI’s knowledge sharing resources: the Climate Law and Governance Legal Working Paper Series. With institutional and legal frameworks playing a critical role in achieving the objectives of the UNFCCC and its instruments\, the working paper series channels the insights and expertise of the CLGI’s diverse climate action coalition of expert partners shared at CLGI events and beyond. As such\, it assists in unlocking the knowledge of the legal community\, encompassing both researchers and practitioners\, which can help decision makers and other stakeholders to address law and policy reform needs and use existing tools to advance climate action. \n  \nModerated by Ayman Cherkaoui\, the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law’s Lead Counsel for Climate Change\, two of the series’ renowned experts presented their latest contributions to the series and discussed legal enablers for climate action. \n  \nThe panelists looked at enablers through two lenses: (1) the legal implications and questions of loss and damages and the wider picture of climate vulnerability and climate-related disaster\, and (2) the legal frameworks necessary for climate finance\, carbon markets\, and implementation of NDCs. \n  \nStarting from his draft paper on loss and damages\, M. Hafijul Islam Khan\, Executive Director\, Centre for Climate Justice- Bangladesh and Adjunct Professor\, North South at the University\, Bangladesh\, provided an account of the impacts of climate change and the imperative to find ways to manage these impacts through policy and legal tools. Looking at his native Bangladesh\, he reflected on measures such as contingency funds for climate-related disaster\, the benefits and disadvantages of insurance as well as the crucial role community based approaches play in building climate resilient societies. \n  \nMartijn Wilder\, Head of CCEM Practice at Baker & McKenzie\, discussed the international and domestic implications of the carbon markets envisioned under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. In an interactive dialogue with the audience\, he discussed examples of the practical implications resulting from the legal frameworks\, or the absence thereof\, on issues relevant to climate change. He particularly focused on the challenges in enacting suitable legal enablers to create an environment to finance climate action. He highlighted the usefulness of comparative legal studies\, but also cautioned that mere copy-pasting of effective legislation from one system to another might lead to no or counterproductive results. \n  \nThrough dialogue with the audience\, both experts also considered the wider role of law in implementing the NDCs and answered questions from delegates and observers present at the event.
