SUMMARY:Due Diligence on Trial: What can corporate sustainability due diligence regulation deliver for people\, the climate and nature?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ZOOM \n*Please note this event will now take place in Marshall 2.08*\nCorporate sustainability due diligence has emerged as one of the most significant and contested regulatory innovations of the past decade. The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)\, alongside national laws in France\, Germany\, South Korea and beyond\, legally required companies to identify\, prevent and mitigate harmful human rights and environmental impacts across their operations and supply chain. \nBut is due diligence regulation enough? Can such regulation itself cause harm?   \nThe Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) at LSE’s Global School of Sustainability invites you to Due Diligence on Trial — a mock trial event that puts corporate sustainability due diligence in the dock\, examining its value\, its limitations\, and whether it can deliver the systemic change that people\, the climate and nature urgently require. Prosecutors\, defence counsel and independent witnesses will argue the case before a judge\, with the audience acting as the live jury and casting their verdict.  \nSpeakers: \nFor the prosecution: \nKate Levick — Associate Director\, E3G Arguing that corporate sustainability due diligence\, even at its strongest\, falls structurally short of what the climate and nature emergencies require.  \nProf. Dr. Galina Kolev-Schaefer —Senior Economist\, German Economic Institute (IW Köln) and Economics Professor at TH Köln (Technische Hochschule Köln) Charge: Harmful — presenting the economic critique of due diligence as a regulatory tool.  \nFor the defence: \nSarah-Jane Denton — Director\, Operational Risk and Environment\, Travers Smith  \nPhil Bloomer – Strategic Advisor and former Executive Director\, Business and Human Rights Centre\, Ex Campaigns and Policy Director at Oxfam \nIndependent Witness: \nColleen Theron – Founder and CEO of Ardea International\, Lawyer\,  Expert in sustainability\, business and human rights\, and modern slavery. \nRichard Howitt – Strategic Adviser on Corporate Responsibility\, Sustainability and Business and Human Rights; Senior Associate\, Frank Bold. \nJudge and Chair \nProf. Veerle Heyvaert — Professor\, LSE Law School; founding Editor-in-Chief of Transnational Environmental Law; Associate Dean\, LSE Law School \nThe event will be followed by a drinks reception.  \nPlease note that although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-served basis. \nAfter the Event  \nInsights from the discussion will feed directly into the SRO’s ongoing research programme. A short blog will be published following the event\, and the proceedings will inform a major policy brief examining the role\, value and limitations of corporate sustainability due diligence compared with other regulatory tools for advancing human rights and sustainable development.  \nAbout the Sustainability Regulation Observatory  \nThe Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) is a new LSE initiative\, housed within the Global School of Sustainability (GSoS). Building on expertise across the LSE Law School\, the Grantham Research Institute\, International Relations and other departments\, the SRO serves as a convening hub that bridges research\, policy\, and practice. Drawing on world-leading expertise across LSE\, the SRO analyses sustainability regulation worldwide\, generates research and analysis to inform how sustainability regulation can be designed and reformed. It publishes policy analysis based on rigorous research\, and convenesgovernments\, regulators\, businesses\, civil society\, and researchers around its findings.  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:LSE/ClientEarth Clinic Presentation: Who Pays for Climate Breakdown? Banks\, Financed Emissions\, and the Road to Climate Accountability
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPlease note this event will now be taking place in Marshall 1.04\, please see venue details below. \nAs the world’s biggest banks continue to pour billions into fossil fuels—nearly US$8 trillion since the Paris Agreement—a pressing legal frontier is emerging: are financial institutions that make climate-destructive projects possible legally accountable for the harms they help cause? Join us for the launch of the LSE/ClientEarth Report that stems from the Sustainability Law & Policy Clinic project\, on which a team of twelve students from across five LSE departments have worked throughout this academic year. Working at the cutting edge of climate litigation and financial accountability\, the Clinic has undertaken an interdisciplinary investigation spanning two interrelated strands of research. First\, we examined how courts around the world have grappled with the thorny question of legal causation and scientific attribution in climate cases against major emitters—whether states or corporations—asking what legal tests\, attribution evidence\, and litigation strategies have proved most compelling. Second\, we turned the lens to banks and financial institutions\, mapping how litigants and civil society have sought to quantify ‘financed emissions’ and articulate the responsibility of banks for their unique role in enabling climate breakdown. Together\, these strands lay the legal groundwork for what may become a landmark methodological study. Taking a ‘Heede for banks’ approach\, modelled on the groundbreaking study that traced global emissions to a handful of carbon majors\, this work seeks to guide the development of a methodology for attributing a justifiable share of global emissions to the world’s most systemically important financial institutions. \nStudents will present their findings\, followed by a discussion with external experts on strategic litigation\, climate attribution science\, and sustainable finance\, offering a rare opportunity for open dialogue on one of the most consequential and innovative questions in climate governance today. Whether you are a legal scholar\, a climate advocate\, a finance professional\, or simply a concerned citizen\, we warmly invite you to attend\, listen\, challenge\, and contribute to this vital conversation. The event will close with a drinks reception\, offering further opportunity for conversation and exchange. \nStudent presenters: \n\nFarah Alaradi (BA in Law & Anthropology)\nSahra Paucar Bejarano (MSc Environmental Regulation)\nNehanshu Rao Chetty (MSc in Law and Finance)\nMary Cline (MSc in Human Rights and Politics)\nPablo Sebastián Díez Pinto (LLM)\nZacharia El Khamloussy (LLM)\nLeong Yue Andrew Ko (LLM)\nNoreen Nakirinya (LLM)\nGeorgia Skapoulli (LLM)\nTomas Vladyka (LLB)\nAn-Ya Yap (LLB)\n\nDiscussants \n\nRobert Clarke and Alex Bennett (Lawyers in ClientEarth’s Accountable Finance team and project partners)\nPablo Felmer Roa (Strategic Litigator and Campaigner\, Member of the Board of Directors at Reclaim Finance)\nLéa Miomandre (Finance Analyst at Reclaim Finance)\nJasper Blom (Lead Researcher in the climate case against ING and Senior Policy Officer focusing on financial sector regulation at Milieudefensie)\nMaria Carvalho (Head of Climate Economics and Data at NatWest Group)\nTom Alcoran (Senior Analyst at InfluenceMap)\nJoana Setzer (Associate Professor at GRI & Co-lead of GSoS Theme 3)\n\nChair: Marie Petersmann (Assistant Professor at LSE Law School & Director of the SLPC) \nThe LSE Supervision Team of the LSE will also be present and includes: \n\nNoah Walker-Crawford (Research Fellow at GRI and Strand A Supervisor);\nJoy Reyes (Policy Officer at GRI and Strand A Supervisor);\nNicholas Petkov (Research Assistant at GRI and Strand A Supervisor);\nEoin Jackson (PhD Researcher at LSE Law School and Strand A Supervisor);\nAgnieszka Smoleńska (Senior Policy Fellow at CETEx and Strand B Supervisor);\nTiffanie Chan (Policy Analyst at GRI/CETEx and Strand B Supervisor).\n\nThis event is kindly supported by the LSE Global School of Sustainability (GSoS). \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \nPlease note\, that although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Socio-Legal Hub Open Lecture: Why I Changed My Mind (POSTPONED)
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, this event has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. \nLaw Events \nThe academy ideally seeks to sustain an intellectual space for debate\, discussion\, and critique\, where individuals are encouraged to continually question and refine their worldviews. At the same time\, academics are expected to rigorously defend their scholarly positions\, which can sometimes make it difficult to change one’s views\, as doing so may be perceived as a sign of intellectual weakness. In this panel\, three scholars at the LSE will reflect on their academic trajectories and share personal experiences of how socio-legal research led them to rethink or revise their views on a particular issue. \nSpeakers: Professor Susanne Baer is Centennial Professor at LSE Law School\, Professor of Public Law and Gender Studies at Humboldt University Berlin. \nProfessor Emily Jackson is Professor of Law at the LSE. \nProfessor Nicola Lacey is School Professor of Law\, Gender and Social Policy at the LSE. \nChair: Dr Nafay Choudhury (LSE) \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism – book talk by Thea Riofrancos\, followed by a discussion by Christine Schwöbel-Patel
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\nWill green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? ‘Clean’ technologies and renewable energy are certainly growing sites of capitalist investment\, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk\, we will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium\, a so-called ‘critical mineral’ essential for its role in decarbonising one of the most polluting sectors: transportation. With forecasters predicting an enormous surge in lithium demand\, exceeding existing supplies\, Global North governments and downstream firms scramble to ‘secure’ lithium\, resulting in a new state-corporate alliance and the return of vertical integration. Meanwhile\, Global South governments are attempting to leverage critical mineral deposits into sustainable and sovereign economic development. And\, across the world\, environmental and Indigenous movements contest the rapid expansion of extraction\, defending ecosystems\, livelihoods\, and waterways already under pressure from global warming from a new boom in mining. It is in the play of these forces\, unfolding amidst geopolitical rivalry and economic turbulence\, that the energy transition will be forged. To conclude\, we will explore the possibility of a less mining-intensive pathway to zero carbon transportation.\n \nThe Speakers:\n\nThea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College\, a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute\, and a fellow at the Transnational Institute.

SUMMARY:Substantive principles of public law: what happened after 1987?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nIn Public Law in 1987 a seminal article was published by Anthony Lester and Jeffrey Jowell on ‘Beyond Wednesbury: Substantive principles of administrative law’.  The traditional view of public law is that it is concerned with procedure\, not substance: how a decision is made rather than the substantive outcome.  That seminal article questioned that view.  This lecture will consider what has happened since 1987\, in particular looking at the principles which have developed about legitimate expectations\, protection of human rights\, equality and conformity with policies.  It will also consider the evolution of “rationality” as a ground of judicial review\, with increasing emphasis being placed on the principles of proportionality and reasonableness. \nSpeaker: Lord Justice Rabinder Singh \nChair: Professor Jo Murkens \nPlease note\, although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \nA drinks reception will follow this event. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Instability of Opportunism: A History of the Russell Tribunal on Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:The PIL hub lunch-time seminar series aims to provide an opportunity to discuss and debate leading research on contemporary\, theoretical and historical issues of international law. \nOn 4th March 2026\, Sjors Polm will present a talk titled ‘The Instability of Opportunism: A History of the Russell Tribunal on Vietnam’  This session will take place in Moot Court Room\, please see venue information below. \nThe Russell Tribunal on Vietnam was animated by a belief that international law had something to offer the antiwar movement. This belief was shared among the tribunal’s participants; the reasons underlying it were not. Based on extensive archival research\, this paper presents the tribunal as a forum where different ideas about international law as a resource for activism were put into action and clashed. It is a story of these ideas\, but more than that it is a story of the forum: of how different ideas about international law and activism gained or lost traction when they were enacted in the tribunal. The paper argues that while the tribunal was created as an opportunistic device to oppose the Vietnam War\, it gradually came to revolve around improving the law. Opportunism proved unstable because it was difficult to separate law’s language and rituals from its values and objectives. \nSpeaker: Sjors Polm is a PhD Researcher at the European University Institute. His thesis\, ‘Doing Politics by Pretending to Do Law’\, is a history of informal performances of law. Before coming to the EUI\, Sjors studied law (LLB\, LLM)\, philosophy (Ba\, Ma)\, and social sciences (BSc) at the University of Amsterdam\, where he also worked as a junior researcher and lecturer. He was a visiting student at NYU Law and is a visiting student at LSE. \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Pathways to Breathe Clean Air: Ultra Low Emission Zones
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ONLINE \n \nHosted by:  The UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment; the LSE Global School of Sustainability; the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE; Laboratorio por la Justicia Ambiental y Climática\, Universidad Iberoamericana Ciudad de México; Queen Mary University of London; and Imperial College London.  \nClean air is an essential element of the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment and a precondition for the enjoyment of rights including life and health. Yet most people still do not enjoy clean air. Air pollution crosses borders and disproportionately harms people in vulnerable situations\, with impacts intensified by structural inequalities\, climate change\, ecosystem loss and toxic pollution.  \nThe UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment will present a report on air pollution and its impacts on human rights to the UN Human Rights Council in March. The report is focused on the protection of marginalised people and groups and based on updated science and legal advances. It draws on London’s experience with ultra-low emission zones. The report identifies priority actions for States and businesses to improve air quality from a human rights perspective\, highlighting urgent actions required to protect the health of people in the most vulnerable situations. This event will discuss the report’s recommendations and its implementation.   \nSpeakers:  Astrid Puentes Riaño\, UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment   \nGregor Singer\, LSE Grantham Research Institute \nDebbie Obafemi\, Air Quality Manager – Great London.

SUMMARY:Socio-Legal Hub Seminar: ‘Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts\, Chinese Corporations\, and Contestations over Sovereignty’
DESCRIPTION:‘Immunity on Trial: Ethiopian Courts\, Chinese Corporations\, and Contestations over Sovereignty’ \nSet against the backdrop of an extraordinary wave of litigation against Chinese corporations in Ethiopia\, Immunity on Trial probes the question of immunity in everyday encounters steeped in highly asymmetrical power relations. Political and legal immunity are justified by the principle that certain social aims outweigh the value of imposing liability. To be exempt from the rules\, however\, is a privilege granted to or demanded by the powerful\, one that is shaped by global inequalities. \nDrawing on observations from the courthouse\, interviews with litigants\, judges\, and court support staff\, and analyses of case files\, Miriam Driessen demonstrates how immunity is debated and delegitimized\, or affirmed\, by those who fight\, exact\, grant\, or weigh it. From the construction site to the police station\, from the registrar’s office into the courtroom\, she documents tussles over immunity\, unravelling the politics of dignity on which they are founded. \nSpeaker: Miriam Driessen is a political and legal anthropologist. She teaches in the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford. Drawing on long-term field research in both China and Ethiopia\, her research explores local manifestations of global transformations in the wake of China’s increasing global presence. She is the author of Tales of Hope\, Tastes of Bitterness: Chinese Road Builders in Ethiopia. \n  \n \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Binding the Future: How to Prevent Backsliding in AI and Climate Governance
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ONLINE \nGoverning intergenerational social dilemmas\, from climate change and biodiversity loss to artificial intelligence (AI) safety\, poses a distinctive credibility problem. Current leaders in governments and corporations can make long-term promises that existing institutions cannot reliably enforce over time. Whether the promise is a government’s climate plan or a company’s net-zero pledge\, the recurring question is the same: How can we make commitments credible?   \nThis talk brings together insights from behavioural economics\, corporate governance\, and AI governance to explore how commitment devices can “bind the future” when reciprocity\, punishment\, and formal compliance mechanisms are weak or absent. It presents evidence that individuals are willing to invest in binding mechanisms\, foregoing personal gain to benefit not only the next generation but also more distant ones\, reflecting “long-sighted altruism.” It further explores how commitment devices can convert aspirational pledges into enforceable obligations\, from contractual instruments in sustainable finance to technological mechanisms such as AI “kill switches.” Finally\, it examines the limits and risks of binding the future. The talk is based on research published in npj climate action and Ecology Law Quarterly.   \nSpeaker: Professor Oren Perez is a Professor of Law at Bar-Ilan University Law Faculty and Director of the Center for Environmental and Climate Law. He previously served as Dean of the Faculty of Law (2017–2022). He holds an LL.B. from Tel Aviv University\, a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of London (2015)\, and an LL.M. and Ph.D. from LSE. His research focuses on environmental and climate governance\, transnational regulation\, and law-and-networks. Recent publications include:  Algorithmic Constitutionalism\, 30 Ind. J. Glob. Legal Stud. 81 (2023) (with N. Wimer); Making Climate Pledges Stick: A Private Ordering Mechanism for Climate Commitments\, 50 Ecology L.Q. 683 (2023) (with M. Vandenbergh); Binding the Future Boosts Intergenerational Sustainability\, 4 npj Climate Action 15 (2025) (with E. Halali); Network Interactions and Mutual Dependence in the Global Sustainability Governance System\, Transnat’l Env’t L. (forthcoming 2026) (with O. Stegmann).  \nChair: Professor Veerle Heyveart is a Professor at LSE Law School and founding Editor-in-Chief of Transnational Environmental Law. She is also Associate Dean of LSE Law School. She teaches environmental law and European law. She has an LL.M. from Harvard Law School and a PhD from the European University Institute in Florence (It). In 1998-1999\, she was the inaugural Sir Peter North Fellow at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies and Keble College\, Oxford. She has published extensively on issues of transnational environmental law and risk regulation\, including books on Transnational Environmental Regulation and Governance. Purpose\, Strategies and Principles (CUP\, 2019) and European Environmental Law (CUP\, 2017\, with S. Kingston & A Čavoški).  \nDiscussant: Dr Ashfaq Khalfan  is the Director of the Sustainability Regulation Observatory (SRO) at LSE. He was previously Climate Justice Director at Oxfam America and Law and Policy Director at Amnesty International. He has led research\, advocacy and policy development on energy transition\, climate finance\, climate inequality\, tax and climate policy\, strategic litigation and economic\, social and cultural rights.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Rules of International Trade – Trade Finance Masterclass Session 3
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for LSE LAW students ONLY.  \n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all three sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants  to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \n\nDiscussions about international trade typically focus on negotiations of tariffs and free trade agreements between states\, but ignore the daily movement and financing of  goods and services that cross borders every day.  What arrangements support the importation of fruit to our supermarkets? What arrangements support the payment of the multiple suppliers producing components of cars or smart phones?  How are the parties financed when there’s a gap in payment terms?  What about non-payment risk? What law and jurisdiction govern? \nUnknown to the majority of qualified lawyers\, there is a detailed private law system of rules and practice supporting import / export transactions\, including the cross-border provision of services.  This system remains obscure\, despite the value of global trade being at an all-time high of nearly $33 trillion in 2024. \nThis certificate Trade Finance Masterclass Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to: (1) the legal rules and industry practice governing cross border trade and trade finance; (2) the continued challenge transitioning global trade from a paper based system to digital; (3) the risks arising for international trade when deals are impacted by economic sanctions or fraud. \nThis course is open to students at the LSE studying Law or Law and finance.  Students will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, but the course will not count as credit to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSession 1 – 28 October 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Legal Rules and Industry Practice \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nIntroductions: Professor David Kershaw\, LSE Law \nSession 2 – 11 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: The Drive for Digital Transformation\, including a review of fintech and blockchain initiatives and the UK Electronic Trade Documents Act. \nSpeakers:\nLorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance\nMichael Lehotzki\, Managing Associate General Counsel\, HSBC \nSession 3 – 18 November 2025\nThe Hidden Rules of International Trade: Managing the Risk of Economic Sanctions and Fraud \nSpeaker: Lorna Strong\, Associate Programme Director\, MSc Law and Finance \nThis event operates on a first come first serve basis and a ticket does not guarantee entry so we advise you arrive early to secure your seat. \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \n\n\n	Related
