Climate change today calls for a systemic, irreversible transformation of environmental, social, economic, and legal orders. Legal frameworks have traditionally approached climate change through the lens of crisis or emergency, yet such approaches increasingly appear ill-suited to addressing its enduring, structural, and pervasive impacts. As climate change becomes a defining condition rather than an exceptional event, fundamental assumptions underlying existing legal paradigms require critical re-examination.

​

ClimateXLaw Conference seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum for exploring how law alone and in interaction with other disciplines can be reconceptualised to meet the challenges posed by climate change as a long-term, systemic phenomenon. The Conference aims to foster dialogue on the limitations of current legal responses, to identify normative and structural gaps, and to explore innovative legal, regulatory, and governance approaches that align with socio-ecological sustainability and justice.

​

We welcome contributions that engage with normative, doctrinal, theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented questions, and we particularly encourage participation from scholars and practitioners beyond the legal discipline, including the social sciences, environmental sciences, economics, political science, philosophy, urban studies, and technology studies.
