Interactive, online roundtable highlighting net zero climate law & governance innovations to strengthen Paris Agreement ambition, markets, transparency & compliance, celebrate new research, capacity & practice stakeholder partnerships & global leaders awards to implement Paris Agreement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) & National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) to advance key SDGs.
Legal and institutional transformation is urgently required to support efforts to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels; to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change; to foster climate resilience & low greenhouse gas emissions development & to make finance flows consistent with a pathway towards sustainable development in accordance with the Paris Agreement. Over 165 out of 188 countries have stressed the importance of legal & institutional reform in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the global response to climate change under the Paris Agreement. As over 60 countries also emphasize in their NDCs, increases in law & governance capacity & practice are crucial for compliance. Climate finance in many forms, recognising the key role of private & public law, also public policy & governance at all levels in accelerating ambition & in converting ambition to obligation, is crucial in all respects.
This side-event features briefings & interactive dialogue with senior counsel & experts from international organizations & institutions, leading institutes & universities of different regions, also international practice networks / associations, including the ‘accelerator’ Net Zero Lawyers Alliance, the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law & other partners of the Climate Law and Governance Initiative, IKEM, Climate Action Network – Latin America, Asociacion Ambiente y Sociedad & Centro Humboldt.
