Climate Law – Berlin

Lexxion (a legal publisher in Berlin) hosts the Berlin Climate Law Conference 2008 July 25, 2008.  Even though the organizers officially “closed” the registration last Thursday there are still a few places available.

The conference is organised in cooperation with the 5th International Summer Academy “Energy and the Environment” of the University of Greifswald and will bring together experts from the legal discipline and other stakeholders for a discussion on the legal dimensions of climate change. It responds to the growing significance of the law as a necessary framework to operationalise climate policies and create predictability and stability in the rapidly growing carbon market.

The conference agenda will cover the Commission’s Climate Proposals of 23 January 2008 and specific issues regarding the reforming of the EU ETS, and we are expecting around 80 participants from all over the world – so far registrations have been made from many European countries as well as Brasil, China, Iran, Pakistan, South Africa etc.
