Call for Papers: 2nd Annual Conference- European Association of Climate Law (EACL), 17–18 September 2026
Climate Law 10 Years after the Paris Agreement
The Second EACL Annual Conference on “Climate Law 10 Years after the Paris Agreement”, will be held in Helsinki, Finland, on 17–18 September 2026. The conference will be hosted by the Center for Climate Change, Energy and Environmental Law (CCEEL), Law School, University of Eastern Finland.
The 2015 Paris Agreement is a landmark in the evolution of climate law. Since its entry into force in 2016, it has strengthened the international legal framework for climate action and catalyzed developments in European, national, and transnational climate law. Climate legislation and litigation have increased substantially. Procedural climate governance frameworks—defining climate targets and the governance structures to achieve them—have been established worldwide. Carbon markets have grown, and regulatory instruments have been adopted to accelerate renewable energy deployment and improve energy efficiency. Implementation of the Paris Agreement has also lowered future warming projections. Recent data suggests that global greenhouse gas emissions may have peaked and are projected to decline in the 2030s. However, that decline is still far too slow to keep global warming below 1.5 °C, which now serves as the primary benchmark for global climate action.
