Content of the seminar
During the lunch seminar, post doctoral researcher Viktor Weber and PhD candidate A. Stella Ebbersmeyer, from the University of Copenhagen, will present the research they are conducting as part to the InterAct project. InterAct is a 3-year research project (funded by the Carlsberg Foundation) that studies the actors involved in international-law making processes concerning the climate change impact of shipping. The project is contributing to new academic insights into the theory of actors in international law and law-making, while providing an understanding and a way forward to address maritime transport climate-related impacts. Specifically, the lunch seminar will address the following two topics: 1) the regulation of shipping induced climate change in the Arctic, and 2) market-based measures and the energy transition for international maritime transport.
