Climate Law and Governance Roundtable 2019: Scaling Up Tools for Paris Agreement Transparency, Markets & Compliance
Date: 22 June 2019. Time: 8:30 am – light breakfast on the terrace | 9:00 am – 11:00 am – Roundtable. Place: Ameron Hotel Königshof | Adenauerallee 9, 53111 Bonn, Germany
With the impacts of climate change increasingly being felt in climate vulnerable countries, there is growing urgency for action, however, law and governance capacity, knowledge, and resource barriers persist. This roundtable will explore the use of law and governance instruments to make mitigation and adaptation increasingly successful through more effective finance, rule of law and climate justice in order to advance the terms and goals of the Paris Agreement and Rulebook.
Held alongside the meeting of the UNFCCC Bonn Climate Change Conference, this special roundtable event will bring together researchers, delegates and practitioners working on climate law and governance to help shape law and governance research, education and capacity building agendas to address these challenges.
The 2019 Climate Law and Governance Roundtable will report on research, reform and capacity projects launched during Climate Law and Governance Day (CLGD) 2015 in Paris, CLGD 2016 in Marrakech, CLGD 2017 in Suva/Bonn and CLGD 2018 in Katowice. It will also share knowledge on new education, policy and capacity building work, identify gaps and propose themes and activities for CLGD 2019 in Santiago de Chile to help our networks build synergies and scale up climate law and governance together.
