Presentation and discussion with Paul Cassidy, senior partner in the national law firm of Blake, Cassels & Graydon's Environmental Law Group in Vancouver.
September 16, 2010
Although increasing worries about climate change and water and air quality concerns around the world seem to make political borders irrelevant, environmental laws in Canada and elsewhere have traditionally had a distinct domestic flavour, focusing on purely locals aspects of these issues. However, recent experiences with transnational issues such as cross border pollution, renewable energy development and carbon cap and trading schemes are forcing a shift in the approach of environmental law toward a distinctly international orientation. This lecture will explore this trend, using actual examples and case studies to reveal the future of environmental law in Canada and abroad.
