One of the Themes at COP28 UAE today is #accountability . What can climate litigation cases achieve, directly or indirectly, within the UK’s current #climate governance framework? Millie Prosser and Friends of the Earth lawyer Acland Bryant join environmental lawyer David Wolfe KC and climate litigator Andrew Boswell2 to discuss a case which challenges government decision-making on three road infrastructure projects for failing to include a cumulative assessment of GHG emissions. Through the lens of this case the #podcast considers the role and legitimacy of climate litigation in the #uk , the significance of climate-related judicial review cases and citizen routes to scrutiny and accountability of #government #decisionmaking.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND CORPORATE REGULATIONS IN ANGOLA Download & Read: https://lnkd.in/d8_jWJ_2 This article examines the regulatory landscape of climate change and corporations in Angola and assesses the country’s ability to tackle the challenges posed by climate change. It examines the country's position in the international climate change arena and scrutinizes the contribution of corporations to Angola's carbon emissions. The absence of legislation on climate change in Angola creates a void which allows corporations in the country to avoid any responsibility for mitigation projects and activities. This article, therefore, analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the alternative regulatory frameworks such as judicial, market, and surrogate regulation that can operate to fill this void and the extent to which they curtail corporate excesses in climate change and incentivize participation in mitigation activities. In scrutinising the deficiencies of Angola’s climate change regulatory framework, the article adopts the dilute interventionism model which employs both prescriptive and facilitative measures to regulate corporations and mitigate the impact of climate change. It highlights the structure of the legislative framework, regulator, and technical expertise necessary for the successful implementation of the said model. Additionally, the article argues in favour of adopting a veto firewall protection to maintain the independence of the proposed sole independent regulator to be responsible for regulating the climate change activities of corporations in Angola.
