YLS Event - The Grande-Synthe Decision: A Conversation with the Judges of the French Council of State

  

      
  

    
Event time: 
Wednesday, February 24, 2021 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Event description: 
In November 2020, the French Council of State (Conseil d’État), the country’s chief administrative court, issued a landmark ruling with far-reaching implications for the global environmental movement. The French commune of Grande-Synthe brought suit* against the French government for allegedly failing to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement. The Council of State subsequently gave the French government three months to demonstrate that its emissions reductions were on track. 


The Yale Law School is honored to host several judges of the French Council of State to discuss this ruling, with additional commentary from several Yale Law professors, including Dan Esty and Doug Kysar. This event provides participants with a rare opportunity to hear directly from several leading global judges – and to be part of an important conversation about the role of courts in the environmental movement.


*Grande Synthe case (which was widely reported on in November)

Co-conveners, LAE Colloquium: Abigail Fields (French) & Dylan Davidson (English)


How has our collective understanding of the environment been shaped by cultural production? And how do works of art, literature, and design continue to inform how we interact with nature? In this panel, which spans time periods and genres, we invite curators and archivists to discuss how notions of the environment have been created, curated, and indeed cultivated by creatives and experts alike. Panelists include: 


Yota Batsaki, Executive Direction at Dumbarton Oaks


Anna Burkhardt, Curatorial Assistant at MoMA


Chitra Ramalingam, Associate Curator of Photography and the Yale Center for British Art
