The Asia Pacific Centre for Environmental Law (APCEL) and Energy Studies Institute (ESI) organised the Climate Change Law Executive Programme in NUS Law (Bukit Timah Campus) on 27 March 2020.

About the Climate Change Law Executive Programme
The world is facing a climate crisis. Even as the Paris Agreement comes into force in 2020, the international community faces a yawning gap between ambition and reality. What is the response of the law to this truly universal threat?
