Description
With the increase in awareness of environmental rights, climate change litigation is rapidly evolving with novel claims and theories being tested around the world. At the same time, judicial doctrine and decisions are creating challenges for both plaintiffs and defendants, including governments and industries. What can we expect from climate-related litigation against oil and gas companies moving forward? What is the role of Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR) under Oil & Gas related disputes? These and other important climate litigation issues will be discussed by our panel.
