SUMMARY:LSE/ClientEarth Clinic Presentation: Who Pays for Climate Breakdown? Banks\, Financed Emissions\, and the Road to Climate Accountability
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPlease note this event will now be taking place in Marshall 1.04\, please see venue details below. \nAs the world’s biggest banks continue to pour billions into fossil fuels—nearly US$8 trillion since the Paris Agreement—a pressing legal frontier is emerging: are financial institutions that make climate-destructive projects possible legally accountable for the harms they help cause? Join us for the launch of the LSE/ClientEarth Report that stems from the Sustainability Law & Policy Clinic project\, on which a team of twelve students from across five LSE departments have worked throughout this academic year. Working at the cutting edge of climate litigation and financial accountability\, the Clinic has undertaken an interdisciplinary investigation spanning two interrelated strands of research. First\, we examined how courts around the world have grappled with the thorny question of legal causation and scientific attribution in climate cases against major emitters—whether states or corporations—asking what legal tests\, attribution evidence\, and litigation strategies have proved most compelling. Second\, we turned the lens to banks and financial institutions\, mapping how litigants and civil society have sought to quantify ‘financed emissions’ and articulate the responsibility of banks for their unique role in enabling climate breakdown. Together\, these strands lay the legal groundwork for what may become a landmark methodological study. Taking a ‘Heede for banks’ approach\, modelled on the groundbreaking study that traced global emissions to a handful of carbon majors\, this work seeks to guide the development of a methodology for attributing a justifiable share of global emissions to the world’s most systemically important financial institutions. \nStudents will present their findings\, followed by a discussion with external experts on strategic litigation\, climate attribution science\, and sustainable finance\, offering a rare opportunity for open dialogue on one of the most consequential and innovative questions in climate governance today. Whether you are a legal scholar\, a climate advocate\, a finance professional\, or simply a concerned citizen\, we warmly invite you to attend\, listen\, challenge\, and contribute to this vital conversation. The event will close with a drinks reception\, offering further opportunity for conversation and exchange. \nStudent presenters: \n\nFarah Alaradi (BA in Law & Anthropology)\nSahra Paucar Bejarano (MSc Environmental Regulation)\nNehanshu Rao Chetty (MSc in Law and Finance)\nMary Cline (MSc in Human Rights and Politics)\nPablo Sebastián Díez Pinto (LLM)\nZacharia El Khamloussy (LLM)\nLeong Yue Andrew Ko (LLM)\nNoreen Nakirinya (LLM)\nGeorgia Skapoulli (LLM)\nTomas Vladyka (LLB)\nAn-Ya Yap (LLB)\n\nDiscussants \n\nRobert Clarke and Alex Bennett (Lawyers in ClientEarth’s Accountable Finance team and project partners)\nPablo Felmer Roa (Strategic Litigator and Campaigner\, Member of the Board of Directors at Reclaim Finance)\nLéa Miomandre (Finance Analyst at Reclaim Finance)\nJasper Blom (Lead Researcher in the climate case against ING and Senior Policy Officer focusing on financial sector regulation at Milieudefensie)\nMaria Carvalho (Head of Climate Economics and Data at NatWest Group)\nTom Alcoran (Senior Analyst at InfluenceMap)\nJoana Setzer (Associate Professor at GRI & Co-lead of GSoS Theme 3)\n\nChair: Marie Petersmann (Assistant Professor at LSE Law School & Director of the SLPC) \nThe LSE Supervision Team of the LSE will also be present and includes: \n\nNoah Walker-Crawford (Research Fellow at GRI and Strand A Supervisor);\nJoy Reyes (Policy Officer at GRI and Strand A Supervisor);\nNicholas Petkov (Research Assistant at GRI and Strand A Supervisor);\nEoin Jackson (PhD Researcher at LSE Law School and Strand A Supervisor);\nAgnieszka Smoleńska (Senior Policy Fellow at CETEx and Strand B Supervisor);\nTiffanie Chan (Policy Analyst at GRI/CETEx and Strand B Supervisor).\n\nThis event is kindly supported by the LSE Global School of Sustainability (GSoS). \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \nPlease note\, that although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Substantive principles of public law: what happened after 1987?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nIn Public Law in 1987 a seminal article was published by Anthony Lester and Jeffrey Jowell on ‘Beyond Wednesbury: Substantive principles of administrative law’.  The traditional view of public law is that it is concerned with procedure\, not substance: how a decision is made rather than the substantive outcome.  That seminal article questioned that view.  This lecture will consider what has happened since 1987\, in particular looking at the principles which have developed about legitimate expectations\, protection of human rights\, equality and conformity with policies.  It will also consider the evolution of “rationality” as a ground of judicial review\, with increasing emphasis being placed on the principles of proportionality and reasonableness. \nSpeaker: Lord Justice Rabinder Singh \nChair: Professor Jo Murkens \nPlease note\, although this event is ticketed\, seating will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \nA drinks reception will follow this event. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Fintech and Digital Finance Masterclass - Session 5
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is designed for Law students ONLY. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\nCertificates will be provided to participants who attend all five Sessions. \nIt is mandatory for all participants to present their valid LSE ID cards upon arrival at each masterclass. Failure to do so will regrettably result in denial of entry. \nThis certificate Master Class Series at LSE Law School is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to regulatory issues arising in the sphere of ‘FinTech’ and ‘Digital Finance’. Both terms are used interchangeably and refer to technology-enabled financial services and products that are either novel\, or traditional and provided in structurally novel ways. FinTech and Digital Finance do not have an existence apart\, rather\, they are part of the continuously evolving financial market as it keeps developing. \nDiscussion on FinTech typically focusses on terms such as blockchain\, stablecoin\, CBDC\, robo-advice\, and mobile payment. However\, to really understand these developments and identify key structural trends they are best discussed by reference to a number of – wider – central themes\, notably regulatory arbitrage\, the increasing use of technology\, datafication\, and the convergence of financial services with other markets\, such as social media and e-commerce. \nOur Convene Master Class Series will break down these developments and set them into their regulatory and legal context. It cuts across matters addressed in the curriculum at LSE Law School\, such as financial regulation and financial law\, commercial and corporate law\, data regulation and competition law. \nThis course is open exclusively to LLM and LLB students at LSE Law School. It is designed to be co-curricular (i.e.\, not part of the LLM or LLB curricula) and complement other relevant courses. \nStudents will earn a certificate for attending all sessions\, the course will not count as credit\, to put towards any degree\, nor will it be examinable. \nSpeakers: Philipp Paech\, Elisabeth Noble \nMasterclass Session 1 – 16 October 2025 \nMasterclass Session 2 – 30 October 2025 \nMasterclass Session 3 – 13 November 2025 \nMasterclass Session 4 – 27 November 2025 \nMasterclass Session 5 – 11 December 2025 \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Moss-Fletcher Lecture - Green Swans and Blue Skies: Climate Change and Insolvency Risk for Financial Institutions
DESCRIPTION:To attend this event\, you must register for a ticket. Please follow the hyperlink below to complete your registration. \nRegister Here  \nLSE is delighted to be hosting the London Moss-Fletcher lecture 2025\, with the generous support of the International Insolvency Institute and South Square.  The London lecture is the second of two Moss-Fletcher lectures. The first was held in São Paulo\, Brazil on Friday June 6\, 2025.  The London lecture will be held in person at the LSE in the Marshall Building\, 44 Lincoln’s Inn Fields\, London WC2A 3LY at 17:00 on Thursday 23 October 2025. \nThe Moss-Fletcher lecture series is a tribute to the late Gabriel Moss QC and Ian Fletcher QC. The inaugural Moss-Fletcher lectures were delivered by Sir Roy Goode KC in 2023 and Professor Westbrook in 2024.  This year’s speaker is Dr Janis Sarra\, Professor of Law Emerita\, University of British Columbia\, Principal Co-Investigator of the Canada Climate Law Initiative\, a member of the Canadian Delegation to UNCITRAL WG V\, and past Presidential Distinguished Professor of UBC. \nSpeaker: Dr Janis Sarra \nChair: Professor Sarah Paterson  \nIn her lecture\, ‘Green Swans and Blue Skies: Climate Change and Insolvency Risk for Financial Institutions’\, Dr Sarra will engage with the challenge of climate-related financial risk.  Prudential regulators and central banks recognize that the systemic nature of climate-related financial risk makes it an emerging vulnerability relevant to cross-border insolvency resolution. The Bank for International Settlements is concerned about potential ‘green swans’\, where timing of climate change impacts is uncertain\, but there is a high degree of certainty that risks will materialize and negatively affect the financial system. The IMF suggests bank supervisors can mitigate these risks by requiring banks to embed climate in their business strategy\, risk management\, and governance. Using examples of both hard and soft law tools in Brazil\, the UK\, and other jurisdictions\, the lecture will reflect on the most effective regulatory strategies to mitigate risk and build on opportunities. \n  \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:How culture becomes a weapon?: Lessons from Russia’s War on Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE LSE COMMUNITY ONLY. A VALID LSE ID WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ENTRY. PLEASE NOTE THAT BOOKING A TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE ADMISSION. TO ENSURE YOUR PLACE\, WE ADVISE ARRIVING EARLY. \n\n\nThe Russian Federation’s intervention in Ukraine\, which commenced in 2014\, escalated into full-scale armed conflict in 2022. Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory have not been limited to military objectives but also extend to civilian infrastructure. Beyond road bridges and power stations\, Russia has also targeted publishing houses\, libraries\, and museums\, and other places of cultural significance. In this\, Russia’s actions fit within a broader long-term weaponization of culture in the service of a political narrative that questions Ukrainian national identity and statehood. The current active campaign against the culture of the Ukrainian people highlights longstanding concerns for the protection of culture and heritage in war. \nThe panel will discuss the complexities of cultural heritage\, from the perspective of a variety of relevant actors in the current conflict\, including military\, the public\, and international partners. The panel will examine the question of war crimes against heritage objects\, including the deliberate targeting of heritage and looting. The speakers will explain how objects of cultural significance are invoked to justify and legitimate violence\, to the point of providing a rhetorical justification for war. The panel will address the broader questions raised by cultural heritage in conflict narratives as well as the distinctive Ukrainian cultural viewpoint emerging from its fight for independence and freedom. \nSpeakers: \nLieutenant Colonel Timothy Purbrick – Military Cultural Property Protection Consultant at Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe \nKristin Hausler – k.hausler@biicl.org – Dorset Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law and Director\, Centre for International Law at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law \nIryna Odrekhivska –  i.odrekhivska@ucl.ac.uk – Lecturer in Ukrainian and East European Culture\, School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London \nChair: David Kershaw – Dean of LSE Law School\, Professor of Law \nThis event is jointly organised by LSE Law School and LSE Lawyers Without Borders \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Leadership Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event is only for LLB & LLM students. \nThis is a leadership class for aspiring lawyers and businesspeople. We will begin with the professional qualities that are non-negotiable for success in the business world. We will then turn to skills – sometimes labelled “soft” skills – that are actually both difficult and critical to master. These are skills rooted in perspective\, long-term thinking and development\, and empathy for others. These are ultimately the capabilities that separate admirable and memorable leaders from competent but uninspiring leaders. We’ll talk about the leadership challenges and opportunities that arise in large business organizations. And we’ll conclude with practical tips and strategies that will help students develop their own approach to professional growth and personal development over time\, whether their journeys lead them to the private sector (business and law)\, public sector\, academia\, or judiciary. \nSpeakers: Marie Oh Huber\, Former Chief Legal Counsel\, EBAY and Pierre Gentin\, Chief Legal Officer\, McKinsey \nChair: Prof. David Kershaw\, Dean of LSE Law School. \nThis event will be on a first-come first serve basis. \n\n\n	Related
