The Center for Law, Energy & the Environment (CLEE) is thrilled to host physicist, astronomer, and former Chief Scientist for Australia, Professor Penny Sackett, this Thursday, July 27th from 12:00 – 1:00 pm for a lunchtime seminar. She will be discussing climate litigation in Australia, with time for questions at the end. The seminar will be held in Suite 460B at 1995 University Avenue in Berkeley.
Professor Sackett has a strong background in research, policy advice to national and local governments, and the synthesis and communication of climate science and its relationship to energy systems. Much of her current work is devoted to providing expert reports to courts and consent authorities on the climate impacts of new or continued fossil fuel developments.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
