Conference organized by Prof. Dr. Ann-Katrin Kaufhold and Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Veil (CAS Research Group/LMU).
Climate protection needs strong institutions. An institution is strong if it has a legal architecture – organization, staff, decision-making procedures, competencies – that is appropriate for this task. However, the fit between institutions and tasks in the field of climate protection is less than optimal at present, as many states do not achieve their (self)imposed climate goals.
The contributions to the conference will therefore pursue the following question: Which institutions have a legal architecture apt to contribute to achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement?
We will tackle this question by (a) investigating the legal architectures of different institutions (parliaments, governments, courts, central banks, supervisory institutions, standard setting bodies) on the European and on Member State level and by then (b) benchmarking the results of these case studies against the specificities of the climate protection task and the institutional prerequisites that follow from these very specificities.
The workshop is the concluding event of the CAS Research Group “The Institutional Architecture for a 1.5°C World”.
Participants: Filippo Annunziata (Bocconi), Thomas Burri (St. Gallen), Veerle Colaert (KU Leuven/CAS Fellow), Florian Englmaier (LMU), Seraina Grünewald (St. Gallen / CAS Fellow), Elizabeth Howell (LSE), Anne-Christin Mittwoch (Halle), Kirsten Schmalenbach (Paris Lodron University Salzburg / CAS Fellow), Stefan Storr (Graz), Werner Schroeder (Innsbruck), Thorsten Sellhorn (LMU), Henri de Waele (Radboud), Christian Walter (LMU).
