This webinar aims to pitch the role of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) within the broader context of global climate change litigation. It will investigate the peculiar features of ISDS existing cases (either decided or pending) both as directly addressing domestic climate change policies and regulations, as well as indirectly bearing a relevant effect on climate action by host States.
The conceptual scope of inquiry will depart from the general categorization operated for the purposes of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law Climate Litigation Database and the LSE Grantham Research Institute Climate Change Laws of the World database (as summarized in our post here). Furthermore, the workshop will dissect specific features of ISDS also drawing from ISDS tribunals’ case law to further analyze the role of ISDS in the broader context of pro-regulatory and anti-regulatory climate litigation.
