Subject: Join us for our next Climate Conversation – Understanding Youth-led Climate Litigation in Canada: The Mathur Appeal
Join the next Climate Conversation Series by the Climate Solutions Research Collective.
Co-hosted by the Centre for Law & the Environment and the Centre for Climate Justice at UBC
Understanding Youth-led Climate Litigation in Canada: The Mathur Appeal
Monday November 25, 12:00 – 1:30 pm
Geography Room 229
In Mathur et al. v. His Majesty in Right of Ontario, seven youth have filed a lawsuit claiming that Ontario violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by failing to fulfill its duty to take action on climate change.
Join us at this informal Climate Conversation, hosted by Professor Stepan Wood and the Climate Solutions Research Collective, where we will begin with a primer on youth-led climate litigation and an overview of the Mathur Appeal. Following this will be an open discussion on the broader implications of the case.
In preparation for this particular event, we recommend that you review Professor Stepan Wood’s recent primer in The Conversation entitled Recent Ontario appeal court ruling on youth-led climate case could be a constitutional ‘game-changer’.
Bring your lunch and your questions!
The Climate Conversation series is designed to bring together the UBC climate community to discuss current events in an informal setting. Learn from your research colleagues about the implications of their climate-oriented work, and how it relates to events as they unfold.
While registration for this event is not mandatory, it does help us plan for space and send you updates should it be required. You can register at our website here.
