SUMMARY:Climate litigation in Europe, sustainable development and justice
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us for this workshop on 16 June delving into climate litigation and international justice.\n\n\n\nIntroduction\n\n\n\nLitigation is a context where justice claims are made, contested, and addressed. Claims to rights and obligations are based on but also frame considerations of justice. Yet, not only underlying different conceptions of justice, but also different frames of reference for justice, e.g., who is included in/excluded from the reference group for equality considerations, directly determines rights and obligations. However, also allocation of obligations and responsibilities influence what is considered not only legal but also just. Diverging conceptions and reference frames lead to deep disagreements on principled normative claims.\n\n\n\nClimate litigation relates to the climate crisis as a truly global collective action problem where cause and effect are stretched out over time and space. In this context, the consequences of different conceptions and reference frames can hardly be overstated. The disagreements run particularly deep.\n\n\n\nAn international justice perspective necessarily gives a place to sustainable development and the position of those that are globally most affected by climate impacts. However, most climate litigation takes place in national and regional courts which have as their principal frame of reference national or regional law. International justice is structurally sidelined.\n\n\n\nAt this workshop, we aim to tease out the different ways in which legal claims reflect both different conceptions of justice and different frames of reference. We also examine what these different conceptions and reference frames mean for the potential of climate litigations in Europe to contribute to addressing the climate crisis.\n\n\n\n\nPlease register here to join us at the Amsterdam Law School ( https://uvaforms.formstack.com/forms/climate_litigation_europe )\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n9:15 – Welcome and Introduction (Christina Eckes ( https://acelg.uva.nl/profile/e/c/c.eckes/c.eckes.html ), UvA)\n\n\n\n9:30 – Chris Hilson ( https://www.reading.ac.uk/law/our-staff/chris-hilson ) (University of Reading).
