The International Law Institute is pleased to introduce the new two-day seminar ‘Understanding the Path to Zero” from October 12th to October 13th, 2021. This two-day seminar will focus on how to institutionalize legally binding climate change regulations in both domestic and international systems. Drawing on his years of experience in the energy sector, Mr. Robert Lesnick, the course advisor for this seminar, will guide participants to an enhanced understanding of the International Energy Association Net Zero Forecast, including what Net Zero is and how it can be achieved. Robert Lesnick has a wealth of knowledge of energy and consumption dynamics. He has worked in the oil and gas sector for the past 30 years, at a major international oil company, and for the Oil Policy and Advisory Service Group at the World Bank
The first day of this seminar will focus on understanding the current state of climate change.
The second day of this seminar will discuss the importance of Net Zero and the global ability to meet this threshold. According to Rob, “Net Zero refers to a point in time where society emits a reduced amount of carbon dioxide and eventually nets the released gas to zero by doing other things to offset what society does emit by either sequestering the CO2 or by doing other things that offset that emission.” This seminar will cover steps that can be taken by businesses, governments, and society to reach Net Zero and how to promote accountability for violations of climate change commitments.
Decision-makers and policymakers alike will benefit from this unique seminar, which will inform them on the basics of Net Zero and forming international agreements. With course advisor Robert Lesnick’s extensive experience combined with the accessibility of a virtual educational setting, this seminar offers a valuable experience to learn about the challenges of achieving Net Zero in the current geopolitical sphere.
