About the Speaker
Professor Megan Bowman is a full Law Professor and founding Director of the Centre for Climate Law & Governance at King’s College London with a passion for enlightened leadership and ‘fit for purpose’ regulation in a time of climate crisis.

Her first book Banking on Climate Change (Kluwer 2015) empirically investigated the role of private sector banks in addressing climate change and was launched by then Hon. Mr. Justice William Blair of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales to international acclaim. She is a qualified barrister and solicitor of the High Court of Australia and Supreme Court of Victoria with a double degree in Arts/Law (Hons, Monash), an LLM in Comparative Law (McGill) and a PhD in regulatory theory (ANU).
