STL Assistant Professor Stephen Minas participated in a high-level workshop on climate change diplomacy in the European Union and the United Nations, which was held in the capital of the E.U., Brussels.
The event, hosted by the Foundation for European Progressive Studies on 23 January, brought together academics, think-tank experts and officials from the UN, EU and individual E.U. member states.
In his remarks, Professor Minas emphasized the multi-directional nature of climate diplomacy, and the need to advance the development and implementation of legal frameworks through treaties, ‘soft law’, EU and national law in a coherent and joined-up way.
The event also featured a discussion of the outcomes of December’s UN climate change conference in Poland and discussion of next steps. Further event details are online at https://www.feps-europe.eu/events/upcoming-events/525-eu-and-un-action-on-climate-diplomacy-the-year-ahead.html
