Understanding Youth-led Climate Litigation in Canada: The Mathur Appeal

Climate Conversation Series by the Climate Solutions Research Collective.

Geography Room 229

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.
