It seems climate change, the green energy transition, and ESGs are topics of continual discussion in today’s world. But how do these issues intersect with the field of international commercial disputes? There have been several high-profile treaty disputes in Investor-State arbitration where the issue of environmental harm and a state's right to regulate in order to meet their obligations under international climate agreements has arisen. But beyond high profile public cases such as these, it can be difficult to gain a full picture of how these issues intersect with the larger landscape of international commercial disputes. In this webinar, we will look at the growing area of commercial disputes related to climate change obligations, the green energy transition, and shifting corporate environmental and social governance (ESG) frameworks.
