Dr Jolene Lin speaks at CIL’s Climate Change Conference: Post-GST and the Road to 2025

On 2 September 2024, Dr Jolene Lin, Director of APCEL and Associate Professor at NUS Law, spoke at a conference organised by the Centre for International Law (CIL) on climate change, titled “Post-GST and the Road to 2025”.

Dr Lin spoke about how international legal proceedings can strengthen domestic climate action. Advisory opinions from the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) carry moral authority and set the ground for further litigation for domestic and transnational enforcement of climate obligations.

The panel, themed “Modalities and Means for Implementation”, also comprised The Honourable Justice Brian Preston, Chief Judge, Land and Environment Court of New South Wales, and Ms Diane Tan, Deputy Director-General, International Affairs Division, Attorney-General’s Chambers of Singapore and Member of the Paris Agreement Compliance Committee. The panel was moderated by Dr Laura Marsiliani, Professor of Economics Director, Centre for Environmental and Energy Economics, Durham University Business School.
