On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Growing numbers of lawsuits have been filed around the world aiming to secure compensation for the impacts of climate change or to compel governments to strengthen climate targets. Many of these cases make causal claims about the effect of defendants’ greenhouse gas emissions on plaintiffs, for which the right scientific evidence may be crucial. In this event, we will bring together pioneering lawyers to explore the different legal strategies being deployed to protect human rights from the impacts of climate change, and the role science can play in supporting them. We will also present new research findings from the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme on the role of attribution-science evidence in climate litigation.
Panel members: * Lavanya Rajamani, Professor of International Environmental Law, University of Oxford * Dennis van Berkel, Director, Climate Litigation Network & Legal Counsel, Urgenda Foundation * Fleur Ramsay, Special Counsel, International Programme & Chair of the First Nations and Indigenous Peoples Program Working Group, Environmental Defenders Office * Rupert Stuart-Smith, Oxford Sustainable Law Programme & Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford
Following the panel discussion, we will introduce the work of the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme (SLP).
