Overview

Join us for a morning coffee discussion on the human rights impacts of the energy industry. The energy industry is a key partner for States and communities to get up, grow, and prosper. The energy industry also is leading the adoption of social license to operate principles and a reliable partner for local communities and local community interests. These positive contributions of the industry frequently take a back seat to negative headlines about the industry’s climate change impact. This session will take a broader view of the human rights impact of the industry and invites members of the Institute to participate in a bigger discussion on the human rights contributions of the energy industry. The discussion will be led by Floriane Lavaud of Debevoise & Plimpton. Floriane has been recognized as a leading lawyer for international energy disputes and has significant experience in public international law and human rights disputes.
