This morning, I read the news on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). The first headline caught my attention: "'Litigate you to death': Gas giant uses new tactic which sink environmental dissenters." The article concerned aggressive environmental litigation tactics deployed by fossil fuel giant Santos and its lawyers Quinn Emanuel. The issue: Santos sought cost orders against third parties who supported public interest environmental litigation morally, for example by liking a post. At its core: the inequality of weapons -- here, a multi-billion dollar company and a global law firm specialising in large-scale commercial #litigation and #arbitration; there highly under-resourced public interest defender offices and cash-strapped public interest groups and #NGOs. While reading the article, I realised again how topical our Panel III on Mediating Complex Environmental Disputes really is. In these often poly-centric, multi-party, high-stakes and complex disputes, mediation can make a real difference to generating real solutions that promote all parties' environmental and commercial interest. Our panel with Mary Walker, Peter Petrov, and Juliana Ghasemipour-Yazdi, led by our moderator Sascha Ferz, will discuss the approaches, options, alternatives and chances #mediation offers to resolving #environmental disputes. Limited seats are still available and online participation is possible: https://lnkd.in/gMASjjSV

Join us on the 7th of March to discuss International Investment Arbitration and Climate Change!

What a great looking series for First Nations leadership and staff! Understanding the (colonial) impact assessment world can be difficult, to put it mildly. "The imposition of Crown sovereignty and the displacement of First Nations from their lands and waters have limited many First Nations’ capacity to uphold stewardship responsibilities." This directly impacts #FPIC: one can not provide consent if there is not a fulsome understanding of the process and impacts a project has on a community. #ImpactAssessment #LandUse #UNDRIP

The Hon. James Allsop AC will deliver an evening talk at 6.30pm on Wednesday 19th June for the Ciarb (East Asia Branch). Taking place in Hong Kong, the talk, titled ‘Climate Change, Policy and Arbitrability’ will focus on legal liability in sovereign courts for emissions of carbon and related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One issue of some importance in those cases has been the justiciability in courts of complex government policy for GHG emission control. The question arises as to how responsibility for GHG emissions will filter down into arbitrations. In that context questions of arbitrability may arise as questions of justiciability arise in sovereign courts. This and the nature of the claims for legal responsibility will be discussed. In-person places are limited and free for CIArb members. Click ⬇ for further details and to register. #internationalarbitration #arbitrators

https://lnkd.in/dsyYvsDy The recent LSE report provides a numerical analysis of how many #climate change litigation cases were filed in 2023, where and by whom, and a qualitative assessment of trends and themes in the types of cases filed. A specific analysis shows the number of cases by sector - highly relevant for #Banks with respect to loan granting but also for the own legal risk profile. #ESGrisk

He'll be part of a round table, "TNFD: Driving Momentum for the Next Phase," exploring key aspects of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures : - How is the Taskforce pivoting its focus to support adoption of the recommendations? - Use cases: who has disclosed thus far and what has been their experience? - How are nature-related corporate reporting activities evolving as a result? - Are corporates and investors behaving different because of TNFD? What action has it led to? - How as sector specific guidance been received? - How are the ISSB and GRI and corporate reporting intermediaries incorporating the TNFD recommendations into their current and future standards and reporting platforms on nature-related issues? How will it fit with CSRD? - Will nature-related reporting become mandatory? Environmental Finance Link to the event: https://lnkd.in/dNzXiSuv #TNFD #Sustainability #ConferenceSpeaker
