Register here to join this event in person or online
Legal Voices for the Future (LVF) and the Grantham Research Institute at the LSE present our July 2024 knowledge session on ‘Human rights and climate change – a regulatory perspective‘.
July’s knowledge session will be run by Jon Tan, Associate (Environment & Climate Change) at Linklaters and LVF member.
Presentation
The session will explore the evolving landscape of human rights considerations within ESG-related regulation with a focus on climate change. We will consider how human rights elements have been incorporated into the sustainability agenda, ranging from sustainable finance, corporate reporting to mandatory human rights due diligence regimes, such as the recent EU Directive – the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
Interview with an expert
Jon will then host a fireside chat with Joana Setzer (Associate Professorial Research Fellow, Grantham Research Institute, LSE) to discuss the impact that these regulatory developments will have on the climate change litigation landscape.
Interactive session
Each of our monthly knowledge sessions include a small group discussion of creative content. This month’s creative content is a video called Blooming Cities which talks about afforestation efforts in Lahore, Pakistan, one of the world’s most polluted cities. Watch the video here.
