 2. UNCITRAL Colloquium on Climate Change and the Law of International Trade


UNCITRAL COLLOQUIUM ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE LAW OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Dates: 12-13 July 2023 (Wednesday and Thursday)
Venue: Board D Room of the Vienna International Centre, Vienna and online
Time: 9:30 – 12:30; 14:00 – 17:00 Vienna time (Central European Summer Time)

The Colloquium is organized by the UNCITRAL secretariat, in cooperation with
other relevant international organizations, pursuant to the request of the
Commission at its fifty-fifth session in 2022 (A/77/17, para. 216).  At that
session, the Commission agreed on the importance of the topic and on the
usefulness of exploring how UNCITRAL could offer its own contribution to the
international community’s efforts to combat climate change and mitigate its
effects by updating existing private law instruments and developing new enabling
legal mechanisms, if necessary. It was observed that global efforts to combat
climate change were an integral part of the agenda of the United Nations and
that, as a subsidiary body of the General Assembly, UNCITRAL was well placed to
undertake work on those aspects of climate change falling within its mandate,
and it would indeed be expected that UNCITRAL would provide its own contribution
to support the efforts of other United Nations bodies and Secretariat units in
that respect (A/77/17, para. 212). 

For that purpose, the Commission requested the Secretariat to organize a
colloquium on the various legal issues surrounding climate change mitigation,
adaptation and resilience, in conjunction with relevant and interested
international organizations, the results of which would facilitate its
consideration at a future session.

The Colloquium will consider areas in which international trade law can
effectively support the achievement of climate action goals set by the
international community, the scope and value of legal harmonization in those
areas and the need for international guidance for legislators, policymakers,
courts and dispute resolution bodies. It should consider in particular: (a) the
contribution that UNCITRAL, being a subsidiary body of the United Nations
General Assembly and an inclusive forum to devise global solutions, could make
in the light of its mandate to promote the harmonization and modernization of
the law of international trade in the form of possible future work and (b) how
existing UNCITRAL instruments in areas such as contract law, electronic
commerce, insolvency, secured transactions, public procurement, public-private
partnerships and dispute resolution can be applied to support climate action. 

The first day will focus on emission trading and sustainable finance, whereas
the second day will deal with corporate social responsibility, greening the
supply chain and climate-related dispute resolution. 

The main conclusions of the Colloquium will be presented to the Commission for
consideration during the third week of its fifty-sixth session.
