SUMMARY:Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism – book talk by Thea Riofrancos\, followed by a discussion by Christine Schwöbel-Patel
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n\nWill green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? ‘Clean’ technologies and renewable energy are certainly growing sites of capitalist investment\, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk\, we will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium\, a so-called ‘critical mineral’ essential for its role in decarbonising one of the most polluting sectors: transportation. With forecasters predicting an enormous surge in lithium demand\, exceeding existing supplies\, Global North governments and downstream firms scramble to ‘secure’ lithium\, resulting in a new state-corporate alliance and the return of vertical integration. Meanwhile\, Global South governments are attempting to leverage critical mineral deposits into sustainable and sovereign economic development. And\, across the world\, environmental and Indigenous movements contest the rapid expansion of extraction\, defending ecosystems\, livelihoods\, and waterways already under pressure from global warming from a new boom in mining. It is in the play of these forces\, unfolding amidst geopolitical rivalry and economic turbulence\, that the energy transition will be forged. To conclude\, we will explore the possibility of a less mining-intensive pathway to zero carbon transportation.\n \nThe Speakers:\n\nThea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College\, a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute\, and a fellow at the Transnational Institute. Her research focuses on resource extraction\, renewable energy\, climate change\, the global lithium sector\, green technologies\, social movements\, and the Latin American left. She is the author of Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism (W.W. Norton\, 2025) and Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador (Duke University Press\, 2020)\, and the coauthor of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal (Verso Books\, 2019). Her publications have appeared in scholarly journals such as Global Environmental Politics\, World Politics\, and Perspectives on Politics\, as well as in media outlets including The New York Times\, Financial Times\, Foreign Policy\, n+1\, Dissent\, and more. \n\nChristine Schwöbel-Patel is Professor at Warwick Law School and Co-Director of its Centre for Critical Legal Studies. She is the author of\, among others\, Marketing Global Justice (Cambridge University Press\, 2021) and co-editor of Aesthetics and Counter-Aesthetics of International Justice (Counterpress\, 2023). Her forthcoming book Green Frontiers: The Laws of Extraction in the Green Transition is under contract with Verso. \nChair: Marie Petersmann (Assistant Professor of Law\, LSE Law School & GSoS). \n\n\nThis event is jointly organised by the LSE Law School and the LSE Global School of Sustainability (GSoS).\n\nA drinks reception will follow the event. The author will sign books for those interested in purchasing a copy\, which will be available at the event. \nPlease note\, although this event is ticketed\, seats will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Pathways to Breathe Clean Air: Ultra Low Emission Zones
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE – IN PERSON \nREGISTER HERE – ONLINE \n \nHosted by:  The UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment; the LSE Global School of Sustainability; the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE; Laboratorio por la Justicia Ambiental y Climática\, Universidad Iberoamericana Ciudad de México; Queen Mary University of London; and Imperial College London.  \nClean air is an essential element of the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment and a precondition for the enjoyment of rights including life and health. Yet most people still do not enjoy clean air. Air pollution crosses borders and disproportionately harms people in vulnerable situations\, with impacts intensified by structural inequalities\, climate change\, ecosystem loss and toxic pollution.  \nThe UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment will present a report on air pollution and its impacts on human rights to the UN Human Rights Council in March. The report is focused on the protection of marginalised people and groups and based on updated science and legal advances. It draws on London’s experience with ultra-low emission zones. The report identifies priority actions for States and businesses to improve air quality from a human rights perspective\, highlighting urgent actions required to protect the health of people in the most vulnerable situations. This event will discuss the report’s recommendations and its implementation.   \nSpeakers:  Astrid Puentes Riaño\, UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean\, healthy and sustainable environment   \nGregor Singer\, LSE Grantham Research Institute \nDebbie Obafemi\, Air Quality Manager – Great London. Authority \nChris Griffiths\, University of Oxford and Queen Mary University of London \nJemima Hartshorn\, Mums for lungs \nDryden Goodwin\, Artist\, public-art series Breathe (2012-26) \nSuzanne Bartington\, University of Birmingham \nChair: Joana Setzer\, LSE Grantham Research Institute \nPlease note\, although ticketed\, this event will operate on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Trade\, Geopolitics and Climate: Fireside Chat with Ignacio Bercero
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Ignacio Bercero\, former Director at the European Commission\, about his long career in trade\, the evolution of the geopolitical and economic landscape over the last 30 years\, and the role of trade in the path to climate neutrality. As the world fast approaches a 1.5 degree temperature increase\, trade openness and sustainable production and consumption patterns will be pivotal to the net-zero transition. Yet\, new challenges lie ahead. National security discourses and geopolitical rivalries are centre stage in the US electoral debate. Concerns about de-industrialisation and an unlevel playing field are cementing an increasingly adversarial approach on the two sides of the Atlantic. Unilateral environmental measures adopted by developed countries have come under challenge as an expression of eco-imperialism. What are the implications for the transnational net-zero transition? How will the trade law system respond to these pressures? \nSpeaker: \nIgnacio Garcia Bercero \n \nIgnacio Garcia Bercero was Director in charge of Multilateral Affairs\, Strategy\, Analysis and Evaluation at DG Trade in the European Commission. Active at the European Commission since 1987\, he retired in April 2024 and is now a non-resident Fellow at the influential Brussels-based think tank Bruegel. \nAfter participating in the Uruguay Round negotiations and contributing to the preparation of the Doha Development agenda\, he was appointed Head of Unit for Legal Affairs and WTO Dispute Settlement at the European Commission. \nFrom 2005 until 2011 he was Director responsible for the areas of Sustainable Development and Bilateral Trade Relations (Russia\, Middle East\, South Asia and South-East Asia). He was also the Chief Negotiator for the EU – Korea and EU – India Free Trade Agreements. From 2012 he was responsible for overseeing EU activities with the US and Canada\, and was the Chief Negotiator for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). \nHe has written several papers on trade and WTO law\, and has been Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford (Saint Anthony’s College)\, UCL\, and LSE Ideas. He holds a Law Degree from the Universidad Complutense\, Madrid\, and a Master of Laws Degree (with Distinction) from UCL. \nChair: \nGiulia Claudia Leonelli \nThis event will run on a first-come\, first-serve basis.  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Trade and subsidies: Towards economic security and strategic autonomy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n\nThe global patterns of trade are changing as a consequence of the emerging geopolitical realities (and the associated frictions). In this new landscape\, governments have become increasingly concerned with their economic security and have put in place measures to preserve their autonomy and resilience. As part of this regulatory adjustments\, some governments have enacted ambitious programmes aimed at subsidising (and reshoring) certain economic activities\, in particular relating to the development of renewable energies. \nThis early evening seminar will discuss these trends from a variety of perspectives and will deal with developments in the EU\, UK and US. The first panel will deal with the rise of economic security and strategic autonomy as key considerations in trade law and policy. The second panel will deal with subsidies under this emerging paradigm. It will touch upon\, among others\, the US Inflation Reduction Act and the transformation of subsidies regulation in Europe (including the adoption of the Foreign Subsidies Regulation). \n\nAgenda  \n5pm-6.15pm | Economic security and strategic autonomy: a new paradigm \nChair: Thorsten Käseberg (German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action)\nPanellists: Adrien de Hauteclocque (General Court of the EU)\, Ignacio García Bercero (European Commission) and Mona Paulsen (LSE Law School). \n\n6.15-6.30pm | Break \n\n6.30-8pm | Subsidies regulation under the emerging paradigm \nChair: Conor Quigley KC\nPanellists: Natura Gracia (Linklaters)\, Pablo Ibáñez Colomo (LSE Law School)\, Giulia Leonelli (LSE Law School) \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Fireside Chat with Robert Pickering\, former CEO of Cazenove
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Robert Pickering\, former Chief Executive of Cazenove\, and author of Blue Blood: Cazenove in the Age of Global Banking\, for a fireside chat about his impressive career and what it takes to be successful in the intensely competitive world of investment banking. \nFounded in 1823\, Cazenove & Co. was the most prestigious stockbroking firm in the City of London\, celebrated for its fabled placing power and its unrivalled network of client relationships. Fiercely independent\, the firm had always maintained a low profile\, shunning the press and refusing to disclose details of its own affairs or those of its clients. \nWhen the Big Bang revolutionised the City in 1986\, Cazenove was the only major stockbroking partnership to refrain from the merger frenzy which followed\, rejecting the conventional wisdom of the day and resolutely following its own path. Hence\, the City was stunned when\, in November 2000\, Cazenove announced that it would abandon its partnership structure\, raise external capital\, and list its shares on the London Stock Exchange. \nRobert Pickering led the firm as Chief Executive throughout this period\, seeking to define Cazenove’s future in an industry which was becoming increasingly dominated by huge international banks. This culminated in the creation of J.P.Morgan Cazenove\, the highly successful joint venture with the hard-charging American giant\, which grew to become the most successful investment bank in the UK. \nRobert will talk about what it was like to manage the firm through a period of tumultuous change and what it takes to be successful in the intensely competitive world of investment banking. \nSpeaker: Robert Pickering  \n \nBio: Robert Pickering read law at Oxford University. After qualifying as a solicitor\, he joined Cazenove in 1985 and served as its Chief Executive from 2001 until 2008\, playing a key role in the firm’s development from a private stockbroking partnership into a leading investment bank and wealth manager. \nSince leaving Cazenove\, he has acted as a consultant and board member. He was recently been appointed as Chairman of Marex Group plc\, a diversified global financial services platform serving clients in the energy\, commodities and financial markets. \nChaired by Ciara Hurley\, LSE.  \nThere will be a drinks reception after the event. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Dickensland: The Curious History of Dickens's London
DESCRIPTION:Members of the public are welcome to attend this free public lecture. \nTourists have sought out the landmarks\, streets\, and alleys of Charles Dickens’s London ever since the death of the world-renowned author. Late Victorians and Edwardians were obsessed with tracking down the locations—dubbed “Dickensland”—that famously featured in his novels. Guided tours\, books\, magazines\, collectibles\, paintings and postcards\, theatrical adaptations\, silent films – all showcased ‘historic’ locations ‘immortalised by Dickens’. But his fans were faced with a city that was undergoing rapid redevelopment\, where literary shrines were far from sacred. Over the following century\, sites connected with Dickens were demolished\, relocated\, and reimagined. Does anything of substance remain? Lee Jackson will discuss a hundred and fifty years of Dickensian tourism (including LSE’s own ‘Old Curiosity Shop’) –  a tale of history\, heritage\, fantasy and fakes. \nDr Lee Jackson is a well-known expert on Victorian London. He is the author of books including Walking Dickens’ London\, Dirty Old London\, and Palaces of Pleasure. Lee has lectured on Victorian topics for libraries and museums throughout London and is an academic advisor to the Dickens Museum. \nChair: Jo Braithwaite\nDiscussant: Dr Tatiana Flessas \nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception. \n \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Uncertainties of Tax\, Rent and Risk
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Ian Roxan (LSE) \nThe Great Financial Crisis (GFC)\, the COVID pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine have been fruitful stimuli for innovation in taxation. At the international level the GFC brought us\, first the BEPS Project\, and now BEPS 2.0 with its two Pillars. Meanwhile the pandemic and the Ukraine invasion have brought renewed interest in windfall taxes\, especially on energy.  \nWindfall taxes are attractive because it is argued that they fall on economic rents\, and it is a basic principle of tax policy that\, unlike most other taxes\, taxes that fall on economic rents do not cause economic distortion. Pillar One proposes a special tax regime for residual profits\, a term that also suggests a claim to the virtue of taxing economic rents. In addition\, in 2016 the US House Republicans flirted with the idea of DBCFT\, the destination-based cash flow tax\, proposed by Auerbach\, Devereux\, et al.\, a corporate tax designed to exempt the ‘normal’ return to capital\, the risk-free rate of return. \nDespite this interest\, the concept of economic rent is not easy to grasp. Typical definitions\, such as the extra return that a resource generates relative to its next-best use\, or ‘inframarginal’ returns\, offer little guidance on how to identify rents. And there is a further ambiguity: returns to capital in excess of normal returns\, supernormal returns\, also include returns to risk. Whether taxes that aim at economic rents or that seek to exempt normal returns also tax these risk premia is often not thoroughly explained. \nIn fact\, there are intricacies to the concept of economic rent that are rarely discussed in the tax literature and\, the relationship between economic rent and risk has a longer history than is often recalled. This paper explores these two elements to give new insight into the impact of taxes on the options for taxing returns in excess of the ‘normal’ risk-free return\, and to the merits of innovations such as new windfall taxes and Pillar One. \nThis event is part of the LSE Taxation Seminars series\, organised by Dr Eduardo Baistrocchi. These events are held on LSE campus\, but a Zoom link will also be circulated in advance. \nFor further information\, please contact Eduardo Baistrocchi e.a.baistrocchi@lse.ac.uk \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Abolishing paper share certificates in the UK – should we or should we not?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Professor Eva Micheler (LSE); Dr Elena Zaccharia (Brunel) \nOn 20 July 2022 the UK government announced the establishment of a taskforce driving forward the full digitisation of shareholdings in the UK. Before Brexit the UK would have been required to carry out this step by 2025. With Brexit this requirement has fallen away and it is therefore worth pausing to examine if this step should be performed either at all or if so at what point and under which conditions. \nThe UK Government has appointed Sir Douglas Flint\, the former Group Chair of HSBC Holdings and the current chair of Standard Life Aberdeen to lead a group of industry experts to build a ‘broad consensus’ to ‘eliminate the use of paper certificates for traded companies and mandate the use of additional options to cheques for chase remittances’\, to ‘identify means of improving on the current intermediated system of share ownership’\, and to ‘consider whether the arrangements for digitisation can be extended to newly formed private companies as well as an option route for existing private companies’. (HM Treasury\, Policy Paper Digitisation Taskforce – Terms of Reference\, published 20 July 2022). \nThe paper will argue that there are good reasons to fully digitise the UK securities markets. There are\, however\, significant problems with the current system for holding securities in digital form. These problems affect retail investors to a greater extent than institutional investors.  On balance the authors believe that the government should first reform the current digital model and only after this has proven to work efficiently also for retail investors remove share certificates from UK law. \nThis is a presentation of work in progress of a paper jointly authored by Eva Micheler (LSE) and Elena Zaccaria (Brunel). \nProfessor Eva Micheler\n\n\n	Related
