Climate Change and Private Law

Yale Law School’s Center for Private Law and Law, Environment, and Animals Program invite you to attend an academic conference examining the intersection of climate change and private law on April 11–12, 2025. 

Registration in SLB Room 124

Ordinarily, legal scholars understand and address the challenges of climate change through public law lenses such as constitutional, human rights, and regulatory law. But climate change also will both impact and be impacted by private law fields such as contract, torts, and property. This conference brings together experts from around the world to workshop their contributions to a forthcoming volume, The Oxford Handbook of Climate Change and Private Law, which will offer the first ever comprehensive scholarly assessment of the implications of climate change for private law.
