Most would consider climate change an environmental issue. But according to a University professor who will speak today at 4:30 p.m. in the Browsing Room of the Knight Library, the issue may also have legal ramifications.
Law school professor Hari Osofsky who will present her paper “Is Climate Change an International Legal Problem?” will talk about climate change litigation and legal approaches to cross-cutting problems such as climate change, according to a press release. The event is part of the International Studies Program’s International Research Forum.
Geography professor Alexander Murphy will also respond to Osofsky’s paper.
He said climate change is an important issue for students to consider.
“We think of climate change simply in terms of physical terms, but it has all sorts of policy implications in terms of how we approach environmental law,” Murphy said.
Refreshments will be served, and the event is free.
