Laws and institutions can help or hinder climate action. They are crucial instruments for promoting sustainable development, and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low-GHG and climate-resilient alternatives, as sought by the 2015 Paris Agreement.In order to raise awareness and strengthen capacity on legal and institutional climate reforms and frameworks, the Climate Law and Governance Initiative, which also coordinates the annual knowledge sharing event Climate Law and Governance Day, will convene a capacity building course with the support of many of its key partners. Building on the CLGI course held in 2018 in Katowice, Poland during UNFCCC COP24, 2017 in Bonn during UNFCCC COP23 and in Setatt during UNFCCC COP22, the course will take place alongside the CoP25 in Madrid, Spain on Sunday 8 December 2018.This interactive, intensive capacity-building course will provide an opportunity for UNFCCC delegates, observers, practitioners, academics, advanced students and others to learn from the insights of renowned legal experts, deepening their understanding of the legal and institutional mechanisms available to implement their NDCs and the Paris Agreement. It will also introduce candidates to crucial legal and governance challenges and opportunities, including how laws can strengthen adaptation and resilience and promote renewable energies, climate finance, transparency provisions and the Paris Agreement, loss and damage mechanisms, climate displacement, and human rights concerns.
