Chair of a Panel hosted by the Department of International Economic Law and Environmental Law of The University of Göttingen on “From Fossil Fuels to Renewable Energy: Trade and Investment Options”

In June 2022, Professor Steffen Hindelang was part of a panel for a webinar hosted by the Department of International Economic Law and Environmental Law of The University of Göttingen.

The webinar was on “From Fossil Fuels to Renewable Energy: trade and investment options – defining the research agenda.”

The webinar had two panels which presented on topics of international trade law and international investment law. They discussed how these two legal frameworks can and should facilitate energy transition, and what their roles are in the broader fight against climate change. The panels also addressed where there are still gaps in research and contributed to the discussion on the future of academic research in these areas.

The expert panel on Trade included Susanne Droege, Anna-Alexandra Marhold, Zaker Ahmad and Gustavo Prieto (as commentator) and was chaired by Federica Cristani.
