Legal tools and governance frameworks on the national and international level provide both obstacles and opportunities in responding to climate challenges. 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.
In 2018, our diverse programme was back in Katowice, Poland for CoP24.
