The EIEL Jean Monnet Module staff is pleased to announce that the final event to be hosted as part of the Module’s implementation, a EIEL workshop on ‘Current Issues of International Environmental Law’, will take place at the University of Siena (Italy) on 27-28 November 2023.
Hosted in collaboration with the Italian Yearbook of International Law and the Department of Law of the University of Siena, the EIEL workshop on ‘Current Issues of International Environmental Law‘ will represent the culmination of the activities of the EIEL Jean Monnet Module, which has been implemented since the summer of 2020 under the academic coordination of Prof Riccardo Pavoni.
The workshop will bring together leading experts in the field of international environmental law, including two current members of the United Nations International Law Commission (Giuseppe Nesi from the Università di Trento and Patricia Galvão Teles from Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa), André Nollkaemper (Universitet van Amsterdam), Jorge E Viñuales (LUISS), Saverio Di Benedetto (Università del Salento), Francesco Francioni (European University Institute), Francesca Ippolito (Università di Cagliari), Gemma Andreone (Institute for International Legal Studies, Italian National Research Council), Mariangela La Manna (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), and Carlo de Stefano (Università Roma Tre). It will aim to explore a series of emerging issues, some of which have already been explored under the EIEL Jean Monnet Module, that will be critical for the current and future development of international environmental law. The topics addressed by the speakers will range from the protection of persons affected by climate change-induced sea-level rise to the protection of the environmental rights of children and future generations.
The contributions to the workshop will feed into the preparation of the next volume of the Italian Yearbook of International Law (Vol. 33), which will also represent one of the main outcomes of the EIEL Jean Monnet Module as it approaches the end of its implementation phase.
The workshop will only be hosted in person, and a limited number of places are available upon registration to Matteo Agostino (matteo.agostino@2@unisi.it). The programme is available for download at this link.
