The Iowa Law Review's 2024 Symposium:

The Economic Implications of Climate Change


Join us as we gather scholars from across the country to discuss how public and private institutions can collectively address climate change on both national and international levels. Topics will span the ideological spectrum and include dialogue on climate reparations, the green energy transition, decarbonization, green-to-gold initiatives, and business purpose in a climate-focused world.  

 

Set against the backdrop of growing concerns about the cost of climate change, this Symposium will bring together the minds at the forefront of these prominent issues. Written pieces accompanying this year’s Symposium will be published in Issue 5 of Vol. 110 of the Iowa Law Review. 

 

The event is co-hosted by the Iowa Law Review, the Classical Liberal Institute at NYU School of Law, the UI Center for Human Rights, and the Hubbell Environmental Law Initiative at Iowa Law. It will take place on September 19-20, 2024, at the University of Iowa College of Law in Iowa City, Iowa.
