Climate Change and International Law at a Crossroad

Description: 

Glaciers and ice sheets are contracting at an alarming rate. Low-lying coastal and island states face catastrophic flooding. The world?s great rivers and lakes are drying up, while climate migrants are pouring across borders. In this timely conference, two dozen of the foremost experts on international law and climate change will address: How should the international community enforce the newly recognized human right to a healthy environment? Is ?ecocide? a viable international crime? Are environmental migrants entitled to refugee status? Can corporations be sued for climate change? And other salient law and policy issues at the heart of today?s climate crisis.
