Workshop entitled Ius Maris Climaticum: Directions in Maritime Law and Policy After the Climate Advisory Opinions

Workshop entitled Ius Maris Climaticum: Directions in Maritime Law and Policy After the Climate Advisory Opinions, jointly hosted by the Faculty of Law at Lund University and the World Maritime University.

The workshop will convene a select group of scholars, judges, and practitioners to examine the implications of the 2024–2025 advisory opinions of ITLOS, the ICJ, the IACtHR, and the ECtHR, together with recent domestic decisions, including Sweden’s Aurora judgment, for various dimensions of maritime law. We believe that a focused and interdisciplinary exchange among a balanced group of experts would be particularly valuable at this stage. Planned outcomes include a peer-reviewed open-access volume and the establishment of a standing Expert Network. 

When: from lunch-to-lunch on 8–9 June 2026, with the afternoon session hosted in Lund (Faculty of Law) from 12h to 17h30 and the morning session at WMU in Malmö from 09h to 12h30.

This is an invitation only workshop under the umbrella of the project Sustainable Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage: Liability and Governance in Light of International and EU Law, and promoted thanks to the generous support of the Rune and Lena Lavin Foundation.
