Climate Breakfast Seminar Series: Common concern or heritage of humankind – how to get it right for climate change law?
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 11th Climate Breakfast Seminar with Andreas Müller, Professor at the Department of European Law and Public International Law, University of Innsbruck.
The presentation takes up the old debate on the usefulness, and limits, of the common heritage of humankind principle that governs (primarily, but not only) the deep sea-bed regime under UNCLOS. This contrasts with the observation that international environmental law in general and international climate law in particular (notably the Paris Agreement) favour the common concern of humankind principle. Against this background, the presentation discusses where in the spectrum of cooperation regimes opened up by these two principles climate law is to be placed and what lessons can be drawn from engaging in this debate.
Andreas Müller is Professor at the Department of European Law and Public International Law, University of Innsbruck, and he is an expert of international and European law. His research focuses on international humanitarian law, international and European human rights law, international economic law, international asylum and migration law, international criminal law, European constitutional law, and on the relationship of domestic law and international/European law.
The Climate Breakfast Seminar Series was launched in June 2019 as a platform to provide expert insights on crucial contemporary climate change issues.
Time: 6th of May 2022 from 09:00 to 10:00
