DESCRIPTION:The Mandela Institute invites you to Masterclass 2 in our International Courts and Africa: Navigating Global Climate Jurisprudence series.Mitigation is no longer aspirational - it is a binding legal duty. The second masterclass in the Mandela Institute’s four-part International Courts and Africa series explores how international and regional courts are enforcing legal obligations to cut emissions — and what this means for Africa.
<br />
<br />Drawing on landmark decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the Inter American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR), and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the session distils global climate jurisprudence into clear, Africa-focused legal insights. Key themes: - State duties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions - Rights-based mitigation obligations and due diligence - Emissions as marine pollution under international law - Implications for South Africa&rsquo;s coal reliance, NDCs and fossil fuel licensing Presenter: Zunaida Moosa Wadiwala, African Climate Law Lead at Mandela Institute, School of Law, University of the Witwatersrand. Her research centres on climate law, litigation and governance.
