NLU DELHI & SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON: PRESENT A TWO-WEEK ONLINE SUMMER SCHOOL ON CLIMATE JUSTICE AND CLIMATE LAW: SOUTH-NORTH PERSPECTIVES (26 JUNE 2023 TO 7 JULY 2023)

The National Law University Delhi (NLUD) and the Law Environment and Development Centre (LEDC), SOAS University of London, offer a two-week online certificate course on climate justice titled ‘Climate Justice and Climate Law: South-North Perspectives’ from 26 June-7 July 2023.

ABOUT THE COURSE
The course will focus on the intersection between climate justice and climate change law and policy, framed around understanding justice linked to equity within and among countries. The central axis for understanding climate justice at the international level is differentiation, or the idea that equity requires the global North to do more than the global South in addressing climate change. At the national level, inequality calls for ensuring that the most marginalised and poorest citizens are not made to bear the brunt of policies addressing climate change. This course will frame these issues by emphasising the global South-global North dimensions of the international climate change regime and focusing on India as one significant example for understanding climate justice at the national level.
