dc.description.abstractA presentation by Roger H.J. Cox at After Paris: Politics, Climate Change & Labour meetings, Toronto, 2015. (31 slides) Roger Cox was the lead lawyer in the ground-breaking Urgenda case which, for the first time ever, argued for the responsibility of the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The government of Netherlands appealed the decision but was eventually forced to amend its GHG reduction targets as a result of the Court’s decision in Urgenda. The video of Mr. Cox’s presentation is available for download in this archive.en
