Workshop Presentation and Call for Papers

We invite experts, researchers, citizens, civil society representatives, social movements and associations, and other stakeholders (including governments, development banks, companies, multistakeholder initiatives) interested in assessing how ecological conflicts transform into litigation and what are the results of triggering courts. Paper submissions should include an abstract of no more than 300 words and a short bio of the author(s)/ presenter(s). Abstracts may relate to one of the seven proposed themes, or may develop other questions related to these themes. Panel proposals are welcome - in that case, the submission form should include an abstract of the panel and an abstract of each presentation. The deadline for submissions is 10 September 2024. Accepted authors/ presenters will be notified by 15 September 2024.
