Speaking about the significance of the location of this
year's conference, Professor Fitzgerald recognised that nations
such as the UAE are dependent on the continued use of fossil fuels
and have been slow in the past to implement climate policies. However, he stressed that all countries need to be involved in this
conversation if the transition to clean energy is going to be
effective.

The signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015 ushered in a
new phase of climate change litigation distinguished by the use of
human rights and constitutional law arguments. As we prepare for
COP28, in this second insight we highlight the increasing relevance
of human rights litigation as it applies to the global challenges
posed by climate change...
This " rights turn" is increasingly
being directed against corporate actors.

At a recent Matheson insights event, Brexit Revisited: London Calling, an expert
panel considered some specific Brexit-related legal developments
under the themes of convergence, divergence and equivalence. One of
the key takeaways was that in some emerging areas, a rule book does
not exist as yet and so it is open to regulators to create rules as
required. Indeed, the panel went on to consider that there is
already evidence of divergent regulatory systems and legal
practices in the ESG area.
