Climate Change – The Science, The Economics, The Law

Friday 5 July 2019, 12:00 - 18:00 - Eversheds Sutherland, London

As part of the Mayor Of London’s London Climate Action Week, Eversheds Sutherland was pleased to host this mini-conference which offers an opportunity to hear from some of the most eminent experts in their respective fields, taking a global view of what can be done to make the changes all human society needs in acting against climate change.

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent* or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities: our consumption and reliance on CO2 emitting fossil fuels is the single largest contributor (IPCC – United Nations). Most of us agree that Climate Change requires urgent action.

(*NASA – John Cook, Fellow at the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland in Australia. et al Study - “Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature - 2013.”)

We heard from environmental, economic and legal experts including Stephen Hill, Energy and Infrastructure Partner at Eversheds Sutherland.
