Preface and Theme
In recent years, countries have consciously set increasingly ambitious 2030 carbon reduction targets, specifically after COP26 concluded negotiations on Article 6 rules, putting in motion the 2050 net-zero roadmap for both private and public sectors. However, the Ukraine war presented an unexpected challenge. The shortage of energy supply has led to higher energy costs for livelihood and wreaked havoc across the global economy.
In the face of this challenge, participating parties at COP27 have determined to continue working toward limiting global temperature rise, and consider renewable energy development as a critical and effective solution to the worsening global energy crisis.
Additionally, given the social disturbance caused by high energy costs, the new climate policy should include the transitional Justice in the corresponding legal framework alignment as well.
The main purpose of the Euro-Asia Forum on Energy, Environment, and Climate Law is to comprehensively analyze key climate change issues from both political and academic points of view. The conclusion of this seminar will provide policy recommendations for future discussion.
