SUMMARY:Small Island Developing States & Plastic Pollution: Elements of a Global Plastics Agreement
DESCRIPTION:In late 2022\, the international community convened in Punta del Este\, Uruguay for the first meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to begin developing a new global agreement to end plastic pollution. This process has been largely guided by UNEA Resolution 5/14\, which\, among other things\, broadly identifies provisions that must—at a minimum—be included in the final agreement or otherwise considered by the INC. But while there have been growing discussions around a number of common elements\, the INC has yet to decide on the specific contents or structure of the new agreement. \nJoin us for the second installment of our SIDS & Global Plastics Series to hear from a panel of policy and legal experts who will share their insights on the outcomes of INC-1 and explore key issues surrounding the structure and elements of a new global plastics agreement\, including potential implications for Small Island Developing States. \n  \nPANELISTS \nDr. Alexandra Harrington\, Chair\, Agreement on Plastic Pollution Task Force\, IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law \nAndrea Volentras\, Project Manager\, Pacific Ocean Litter Project (POLP)\, Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) \nJoan Yang\, Senior Officer\, Government Relations\, Pew Charitable Trusts \n  \nMODERATOR \nBryce Rudyk\, Director of International Environmental Law\, Guarini Center; Adjunct Professor of Law\, NYU School of Law \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \n\nThis event is made possible by the International Union for Conservation of Nature through the Plastic Waste Free Islands project\, funded with generous support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.

SUMMARY:Global Sustainable Cities: Cities and Our Environmental Future
DESCRIPTION:Over half of the world’s population now lives in cities\, and this share is expected to increase in the coming decades. With growing urbanization\, cities and their residents face substantial environmental challenges such as higher temperatures\, droughts\, wildfires\, and increased flooding. In response to these pressing challenges\, some cities have begun to develop local environmental regulations that supplement national and environmental laws. Experts from around the globe take stock of the policies that leading cities in the global north and south are taking to lessen the impacts of climate change and secure a more sustainable urban future. \nThis program is timed to coincide with the release of Global Sustainable Cities: City Governments and Our Environmental Future\, a new book that is a collaborative effort of NYU’s faculty in New York City and Abu Dhabi. The book includes first-hand accounts of recent environmental initiatives adopted by Abu Dhabi\, Beijing\, Delhi\, London\, New York\, and Shanghai. \n  \nOPENING REMARKS \nJohn Coughlin\, Global Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies and Law\, NYUAD \n  \nPANELISTS \nDaniel Zarrilli\, Special Advisor for Climate and Sustainability\, Columbia University; former Chief Climate Policy Advisor to Mayor Bill de Blasio \nElena De Nictolis\, Post-Doctoral Global Fellow\, New York University School of Law \nHarry den Hartog\, Professor\, Tongji University\, Shanghai \nHu Tao\, Director\, Lakestone Institute for Sustainable Development \nWolfram von Heynitz\, Deputy Consul General\, Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany New York \n  \nMODERATORS \nDanielle Spiegel-Feld\, Executive Director and Adjunct Professor of Law\, Guarini Center on Environmental\, Energy and Land Use Law\, NYU School of Law \nKatrina Wyman\, Wilf Family Professor of Property Law\, NYU School of Law \n
