The Climate Law and Governance Reading Group is a student-led initiative that aims to provide a forum for reflective and critical interdisciplinary discussion on climate law and governance for climate specialists affiliated with King's. Through monthly readings and group discussions, participants are invited to engage with topics that lie beyond, but are related to, their areas of expertise. The aim of the reading group is to investigate legal and governance frameworks from various disciplinary perspectives and challenge participants’ assumptions and ideas in a constructive way. The group also serves as a networking platform for climate researchers affiliated with King’s, allowing potential collaborators meet and exchange ideas.

Readings for this session:

  • Elizabeth Fisher, Eloise Scotford and Emily Barritt, “The Legally Disruptive Nature of Climate Change” (2017) 80 Modern Law Review 173 (available: here)
  • Will Frank, “The Huaraz Case – German court opens recourse to climate law suit against big CO2-emitter” (Columbia Law School Sabin Centre For Climate Change Law Blog Post, 7 December 2017) (available: here)
