Juris North ASAP Roundtables 2022
To follow up the 2020 Congress “Global Justice and Sovereignty” and the 2020 “Global Response to Crisis” Roundtables, Academics Stand Against Poverty (Yale’s ASAP) and Juris North will be working together again in 2022. We plan to have a set of three thematic roundtables running between April and June and a final Congress in September 2022.
Title: Global Response to crisis: sustainability, SDGS and climate change
Thinking globally, acting locally
Aims:
. To critically assess local, regional and/or global law and policy that have to do with sustainability and its crossover with a specific thematic area.
. To explore different stakeholder views on a range of sustainability-related topics.
. To seek international perspectives and exchanges about a range of sustainability-related topics and explore possibilities for collaboration in terms of research, practice and education.
Final Target:
National and international legal and political orders around the world.
