BUILDING CAPACITY FOR CLIMATE LAW & GOVERNANCE
Laws 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.
In 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.
This 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.
