Description

Following our session in Paris 2023, this session will consider the legal roadmap to net zero with a particular focus on issues related to the delivery of key infrastructure. As we move along the journey towards the delivery of net zero milestones, this session will review key themes encountered along the way: the role of legal frameworks, national and trans-national; the issue of environmental justice and achieving a just transition for emerging economies; friction in areas such as regulation, permitting and grid capacity; and the impact of conflicts and imposition of sanctions. This session will look forward and consider how to transform the delivery process, drawing on lessons learned to date and considering key milestones achieved, roadblocks encountered and how to create a clear path to achieve the net zero goals.
