The 13th issue of Uría Menéndez’s #InternationalArbitrationOutlook, with a focus on #ESG in international arbitration and litigation, is out now! I had the pleasure of working with Maria Querol Guillen an article for this issue in which we review the ICJ’s contributions to international environmental law. We hope that you find it insightful and we look forward to the ICJ’s upcoming Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change, which will hopefully develop and clarify international environmental law even further. #arbitration #EnvironmentalLaw

Panel Three of the Shapiro Environmental Law Symposium at The George Washington University Law School on March 28 will address strategic litigation to promote human rights and environmental protection. A recent wave of strategic climate litigation filed by youth plaintiffs around the world has provided a source of progress and hope in the fight for climate justice. This esteemed panel will address strategies pursued and victories secured by youth and other plaintiffs in Europe (Prof. Amelia Burnette), the United States (Prof. Paul Rink of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University), and Latin America (Samantha Derksen of Hausfeld). It will also address a recent landmark victory in securing environmental justice for Indigenous peoples in Guatemala (Leonardo A. Crippa of the Indian Law Resource Center). The George Washington University Law School is particularly proud of this panel because it features two of our distinguished alumni (Samantha Derksen and Jarryd Page of the Environmental Law Institute) and a visiting scholar at GW Law this semester who is teaching a Human Rights and Environmental Protection course (Prof. Amelia Burnette). The session is available in person and online. We hope you can join us! The symposium registration page, which also contains a resources page and full symposium program, appears in the comment section below. #climatechange #climatecrisis #climatechangesolutions #climatejustice #climateadaptation #climateemergency #climateactionnow #climatelitigation #youthempowerment #youthadvocacy #youthleadership #humanrights #humanrightslaw #indigenouspeoples #indigenouscommunities
