Climate Breakfast Seminar Series: Public Procurement and Climate Change: All Hands on Deck

The Centre for International Law and Governance (CILG), the Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research (COPE) of the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, and the student association Casus Clima are happy to announce the Tenth Climate Breakfast Seminar with Carina Risvig Hamer, Associate Professor of Public Procurement Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen.

Its major role in the economy makes Public Procurement, when used correctly and effectively, a significant and necessary tool to fight climate change. This seminar will assess the main international, EU and national policies for Green Public Procurement (GPP), their relationship with general EU procurement and new trends and possibilities for Public Procurement to become a relevant tool for the green transition.

Carina Risvig Hamer is Associate Professor of Public Procurement Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen. She teaches and researches in public procurement law, administrative law and EU law. She has recently received a DFF Sapere Aude 2020 and Inge Lehmann 2020 grant for a research project on Central Purchasing Bodies, who conducts procurement procedures on behalf of other contracting authorities and where GPP also play an important role due to the large amount of public spending on these Agreements.

The Climate Breakfast Seminar Series was launched in June 2019 as a platform to provide expert insights on crucial contemporary climate change issues.
