Ocean Guardians: The Pacific's Climate Case to the World's HIghtest Courts
Join Julian Aguon, founder of Blue Ocean Law, and Naima Taafaki-Fifita, founder of The Moana Tasi Project, as they share their experiences fighting for climate justice in the world’s highest courts.
These Indigenous lawyers have led historic legal victories, including ICJ and ITLOS climate advisory opinions, where the highest courts ruled that nation-states must prevent climate harm, protect human rights, and act urgently to cut emissions.
Learn about the unique intersection of international, human rights, and environmental law that Indigenous people must navigate. Hosted by UCLA Law student and member of the Environmental Law Society Gregory Loui, with The Promise Institute's Joe Berra and Native Nations Law and Policy Center's Lauren van Schilfgaarde moderating Q&A.
Co-sponsored by The Promise Institute for Human Rights, the Native Nations Law and Policy Center, the Emmett Institute, and the Environmental Law Society.
Lunch will be provided.
