COP 30 in 2025 will be a pivotal moment and a critical juncture for the climate movement as Parties submit their 2nd Nationally Determined Contributions which will cover implementation until 2035. As the outcome of the first global stocktake markedly pointed out, Parties are not yet on track towards achieving the purpose and long-term goals of the Paris Agreement and in fact, are dangerously close to completely failing it. In 2023, studies have shown that on average, the Earth was 1.5C higher than pre-industrial times, the first time ever that this threshold was reached. The next few years will therefore be crucial in raising ambition for the next period while accelerating implementation of existing commitments.

The first global stocktake, aside from marking the progress of Parties NDCs, also made important policy signals to guide Parties in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. For example, the global stocktake outcome is the first formal UNFCCC document that mentions transitioning away from fossil fuels. The outcome also included an agreement to triple the worldโ€™s renewable energy capacity and double its energy efficiency by 2030. The outcome also stressed the importance of just transition pathways and financial flows that are consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development. The first global stocktake also referenced the potential of the ocean to contribute to mitigation and adaptation with Parties called to preserve and restore the oceans and coastal ecosystems and scale up ocean-based mitigation action.

This Conference, co-hosted by NUS Centre for International Law and the Durham University Centre for Sustainable Development Law and Policy (CSDLP) will build on the outcomes of the Global Stocktake and dive deeper into these issues and identify ways in which Parties can increase ambition and align their next NDCs toward the 1.5C goal. It aims to address the implications of just transition and how these can be integrated into NDCs; recent developments that promote as well as the challenges in achieving the urgently climate finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development; the translation of international climate change into domestic law and polices and the mechanisms available for monitoring and securing compliance; as well as the role of the oceans in climate action. The Conference will also take a forward-looking approach as it reviews the achievements and failures of the past to ask what the future of the international climate regime past 2030 and beyond will look like.

Spaces are limited. Guests who are successfully registered will receive a confirmation email from the organisers in due course.

On 21 May 2024, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea rendered its much anticipated advisory opinion (AO) on Statesโ€™ obligations to protect and preserve the marine environment from the harmful effects of the introduction of GHG emissions into the oceans within the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The Tribunal confirmed the Conventionโ€™s concern with GHG emissions and that, in view of the emergency climate change imposes, States shall abide by a โ€œstringentโ€ due diligence standard of conduct in preventing, controlling, and reducing land-based and vessel-born marine pollution caused by GHG gases, as well as in protecting and preserving the marine environment from deleterious effects caused by the seaโ€™s absorption of GHGs, including ocean acidification, deoxygenation, and warming.

But how exactly should these findings have a bearing on States, international organizations, corporations, civil society, and other courts and tribunals, national and international? Can the protection of oceans reorient the course of efforts to address climate change? On 23rd July, join us as our expert panellists share their insights on the key aspects of the AO and its implications.

REGISTRATION https://cil.nus.edu.sg/event/enforcement-of-awards-against-states/

INTRODUCTION | The enforcement of arbitral awards against States, whether in investor-state or commercial cases, has always been an area rife with difficulties. Among other things, the lack of assets directly held by States, sovereign immunity laws, difficulties with establishing that property against which enforcement is sought falls within the commercial exception, and attempts by States to raise their own domestic laws as grounds to resist enforcement, are some of the common issues that plague enforcement.

Statistics show that States are less likely than commercial parties to voluntarily comply with arbitral awards. According to the Report on Compliance with Investment Treaty Arbitration Awards 2023 by Dutch consultancy NL-Investmentconsulting, the number of unpaid investor-state awards have risen from 36 in 2022 to 60 in 2023, with at least US$70.5 billion remaining unpaid.

Join us, as our panellists who hail from diverse backgrounds ranging from commercial and investor-state arbitration practitioners, academia, to government service, offer their perspectives and share their experience on the difficulties and pitfalls in enforcing arbitral awards against States, and share practical tips on how these difficulties can be overcome to achieve effective enforcement.

All the actors engaged in dispute resolution have a crucial role to play in the choice of an appropriate avenue, including mediation and hybrid processes, to resolve each individual dispute. In the very specific context of disputes involving States and foreign investors, how can these actors, in their practice, work towards a tailored approach, far from an automatic and exclusive recourse to arbitration? Counsel, mediation practitioners, government officials, arbitrators, academics and educators will share their experience in that regard, and possible solutions to concretely raise awareness, address concerns and change mindsets across the board.

The Singapore International Arbitration Academy (SIAA) is one of CILโ€™s flagship programmes. Every year since 2012, the Centre for International Law (CIL) has brought together some of the worldโ€™s leading experts in international arbitration for a weeklong programme on investor-state dispute settlement designed specifically for government officials and private practitioners. SIAA is an unparalleled opportunity for government officials, private practitioners and legal academics in the Asia-Pacific region and from around the world to come to Singapore to meet and interact with luminaries of international arbitration, gain hands-on experience with international investment law issues and develop new professional relationships.

As a culmination of the SIAA, participants who choose will be given the opportunity to argue in investor-state arbitration proceedings before a distinguished tribunal of some of the world's leading arbitrators.

https://cil.nus.edu.sg/event/2024-us-asean-cyber-and-digital-dialogue/

The Global Cyber Dialogues hold a series of sessions in which Dialogue members convene to discuss topics of joint interest and cultivate working relationships among themselves. This June, Columbia Universityโ€™s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), the National University of Singaporeโ€™s Centre for International Law (NUS CIL) and Nanyang Technological Universityโ€™s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (NTU RSIS) will kick off this yearโ€™s US-ASEAN Dialogue sessions. The opening remarks will be recorded but it will feature an off the record discussion that will not be recorded to allow participants to speak freely and provide their insights.

The goal of the Dialogue is to provide a platform for a mutual sharing of views and to discuss the future paths for improving cyber and digital cooperation between the United States and South-East Asian countries. Speakers from both regions will offer perspectives on key cyber and digital issues for the US and ASEAN and how to foster cyber and digital cooperation. The Dialogues will bring forth multiple perspectives on how leaders can collaborate with their cross-Pacific partners to create stronger partnerships between the US and ASEAN countries.

By invitation only, this session will provide an opportunity for Dialogue members to meet, form networks and begin collaboration with other participants. Prepared remarks will be given from US and ASEAN perspectives followed by a closed discussion segment under Chatham House rules.

Pls email [email protected] if you are interested in attending the dialogue session.
