Partner Sylvie Gallage-Alwis comments on whether climate change legislation goes far enough, suggesting that to focus on the relative ambitiousness of new laws would be to miss the point.
Sylvie’s comments were published by Lawyer Monthly both online on 1 September 2021 and in the September 2021 magazine.
“On the subject of emerging climate change legislation, Sylvie Gallage-Alwis, partner at the Paris office of Signature Litigation, suggested that to focus on the relative ambitiousness of the new laws would be to miss the point.
“In my view, it is not about whether this legislative progress is enough or not. The real issue is whether the enforcement ability of authorities and Courts is appropriate,” she commented. “Incentivising and having a global approach should be encouraged as scientists insist on the fact that human behaviour is the key to our future.””
