DESCRIPTION:Photo by Matthew Henry About the Event: The challenge of clim
 ate action and energy transition will entail a significant restructuring
  of economies and associated law and regulatory policy to achieve the gl
 obal decarbonisation goals. The transformative environmental\, social an
 d economic policies necessary to achieve this green transition in a just
  and equitable manner will create tensions between countries’ climate pl
 edges and policies and their obligations under international investment 
 law. This panel will feature presentations from two international invest
 ment law scholars investigating the impact of laws protecting foreign in
 vestment on national and international climate action and on the financi
 ng of global energy transition. Climate Action\, Foreign Investment Prot
 ection and the Many Faces of De-Risking by Dr Anil Yilmaz-Vastardis\, Es
 sex Law School Environmental Clauses in Investment Arbitration and the A
 uthority of Advisory Opinions on Climate Change by Dr Oliver Hailes\, LS
 E Law School See abstracts below. About the Speakers: Dr Anil Yilmaz Vas
 tardis is Senior Lecturer at Essex Law School and Co-Director of the Ess
 ex ÌÇÐÄTV and Human Rights Project. She is also Honorary Associate Pro
 fessor at ÌÇÐÄTV Law School based at the GLOBE Centre. She is a non-pra

  Law (2020). Dr Oliver Hailes is Assistant Professor of Law at the LSE L
 aw School with special interests in energy\, investment\, environment\, 
 and state and commercial arbitration. He has been Assistant General Edit
 or of the ICSID Reports since 2018. Dr Hailes has previously clerked for
  an appellate judge\, practised commercial litigation\, volunteered for 
 climate and trade NGOs\, and held several research\, teaching\, and edit
 orial roles. Abstracts: Climate Action\, Foreign Investment Protection a
 nd the Many Faces of De-Risking by Dr Anil Yilmaz-Vastardis\, Essex Law 
 School Tackling climate change and implementing a transition towards a l
 ow carbon economy requires major transformations of economies and societ
 ies with significant distributional impacts. This paper analyses the rol
 e played by laws protecting foreign investments\, which shield investors
  from risks of loss in profits\, in shaping such distributional impacts 
 in the context of energy transition. It evaluates how certain legal inte
 rventions in international investment law (IIL) and corporate law functi
 on as de-risking devices alongside emerging climate finance deals that a
 re guided by the principle of the de-risking state\, to ultimately safeg
 uard generous levels of profit as entitlements. The paper assesses two d
 imensions of climate action from the lenses of de-risking and of fair pr
 ofits. On one hand\, with oil and gas stranded assets estimated to cost 
 over US$1 trillion to investors\, a rise in investment disputes in this 
 area is to be expected. The paper analyses how IIL’s approach to investo
 r rights and valuation of damages in fossil fuel sectors shape distribut
 ional outcomes around climate action. On the other hand\, there is an ur
 gency to scale up financing and investments to reinvent energy and carbo
 n emitting sectors and accelerate energy transition across the globe. Th
 e paper secondly analyses how the emerging financing models for green in
 vestments coupled with the legal protections offered to such investments
  by IIL play a role in shaping how losses and gains of the so called ‘gr
 een transition’ are allocated across society. Environmental Clauses in I
 nvestment Arbitration and the Authority of Advisory Opinions on Climate 
 Change by Dr Oliver Hailes\, LSE Law School Investment protection and th
 e prevention of environmental harm are twin corollaries of territorial s
 overeignty. With the rise of investment treaty arbitration\, however\, s
 ome tribunals were seen to overprotect investment\, leading many States 
 to negotiate environmental clauses. This presentation introduces a typol
 ogy of 10 clauses\, ranging from the jurisdictional scope of treaties to
  express obligations on investors. To date\, arbitral practice has mainl
 y interpreted affirmations of the right to regulate\, clarifications of 
 indirect expropriation\, and general exceptions adopted from trade law. 
 It remains difficult to avoid the customary inquiry into whether an impu
 gned measure was reasonable and not arbitrary\; its adverse impact must 
 not be manifestly excessive in relation to the purpose pursued. Yet\, in
  the energy transition\, several advisory opinions may ratchet the prior
 ity attached to the pursuit of climate mitigation\, making it difficult 
 for carbon-intensive investors to establish breach\, regardless of wheth
 er the applicable treaty includes an environmental clause. Download the
