It was a pleasure to speak at the ALBA Summer Conference this weekend, on the most topical of issues: climate change & human rights. Good to get into the detail of KlimaSeniorinnen, including the GC's careful analysis of the separation of powers & the rule of law. Thanks @adminlaw.bsky.social!

Interested in the link between human health & climate litigation? Join us this Thurs to hear from the lawyers in the landmark "Deadly Air" case, linking 1000s of deaths p/a caused by coal-related air pollution to Govt's duty rapidly to move away from coal dependency

🌍 Brilliant discussion at Paris Arbitration Week on Monday on climate risk in long-term contracts! My 6 key takeaways are:

Such an interesting analysis by @profmarkelliott.bsky.social of the principle of legality and heightened-scrutiny rationality review, contrasting the SC decision in the Spitalfields Historic Building Trust case & Chamberlain J in the KP case.

Huge #climate news: the Rosebank & Jackdaw judgment, reinforcing Finch but, more importantly, finding the private financial interest in developing the fields could not justify continuing the projects despite the unlawfulness (text of judgment in my LinkedIn post) www.linkedin.com/posts/estell...

Looking forward to talking today about #climate, #humanrights, the ECtHR's decision in KlimaSeniorinnen v Switzerland & its application to the UK. Here's a sneak peak at one of my slides 😄 Thanks to White Paper Conferences for inviting me to the excellent Environmental Law & Practice Conference

So looking forward to delving into the juicy venn diagram of Finch & infrastructure projects this morning!
