Governments are facing challenges from the energy transition, including implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) made under the Paris Agreement on climate change while simultaneously respecting the rights of companies and investors that own assets impacted by the energy transition. This conflict of objectives has led to numerous investor-state disputes in recent years.

On 22 May, NERA Managing Director Julie M. Carey will speak in a session titled “Consequences of Energy Transition Policies for Investment Arbitration Disputes” at the World Arbitration Update 3rd Edition. Ms. Carey will be joined by Foley Haug LLP Partner Christina L. Beharry, Secretariat Advisors Managing Director Garrett Rush, and Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Director Lisa Sachs. Ms. Carey discussed trends in energy economics, greenhouse gases and carbon emissions, as well as recent developments in energy policy and technological solutions
