Professor Casado Pérez Presents at 2023 Climate Action Conference

Professor Vanessa Casado Pérez presented at the 2023 Institutions & Effective Climate Action Conference in December. The 2023 conference, which was co-sponsored by the Texas A&M Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources Systems Law Program and Queen’s University Faculty of Law, featured scholars exploring the dynamics of institutions shaping climate action and policy. 

Climate change and policy implementation remain among the world’s most critical issues.

Presenters discussed topics on emissions trading, climate equity, infrastructure, and adaptation.
