Description

As the global community faces intensifying climate impacts, resource scarcity and a rapid transition towards sustainable energy systems, disputes over environmental and energy issues are becoming increasingly complex. These conflicts often involve a diverse range of actors, governments, corporations, communities and civil society. Speakers will examine the unique challenges posed by these disputes, including scientific uncertainty, long-term environmental impacts, transboundary issues and asymmetries of power and information.
