Very happy to report that the latest volume of the Irish Journal of European Law has just been published! isel.ie/ijel/volume-... Lots of interesting articles, as ever, and look out for the forthcoming call for papers for the next volume. Vol 26 on Westlaw soon and on HeinOnline later.

Truly, we are at a moment when we need organizations — the ABA, ALI, law firms, law schools — speaking out. As Judge Coughenour said, “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?” It’s time for the lawyers.

This was a great talk. I recommend watching the recording when it is made available. Some great insights about the ‘new legal reality’ of the climate act and how it is being interpreted in the courts. Thanks to Rose Wall @clmirl.bsky.social and all the speakers for putting this together

But an immediate end to business as usual is a precondition for planetary survival” (para 91) courts.ie/view/judgmen...

Ireland's expert Council is now advocating "climate neutrality" as a gauge of equitable carbon budgeting rather than its previous 1.5ºC "Paris Test". BUT this new framing unjustly moves the goal posts in Ireland's favour. Easier, ambiguous goal framing only hides the urgency of 1.5ºC climate action.
