Law has often treated climate change as an exceptional crisis. This conference asks a different question: what legal imaginaries, institutions, and governance tools are fit for a world where climate change is a defining condition? We are looking for rigorous, imaginative work that bridges theory and practice and that speaks to justice, sustainability, and durable governance.
