On May 30, 2019, there will be a conference on U.S. – EU environmental issues in Rome; the program for the colloquium, which will cover issues from climate change to sustainability in procurement, may be downloaded below.
The conference was launched by Dr. Giovanni Antonelli, of the “Sapienza” University of Rome, with the support of Prof. F. Giglioni and Prof. M.V. Ferroni of the University’s Department of Political Science, and the Center for American Studies. Dr. Antonelli writes:
For over the last year we have been thinking how to engage some of the most eminent international experts for empowering our common interest and work towards potential models of sustainable development.
Built upon the shared belief that the current political divide felt over our continents is polarizing and alienating not only our cultures but often it is even estranging groups and movements that have similar values and goals, the “U.S.–E.U. Environmental Law Colloquium” aims to encourage participation and collaboration between American and European Scholars on a regular basis, to share the progress of our researches and to launch new initiatives and projects for the implementation of the environmental policies.
For the organization of this first edition we do want to acknowledge the important role played by the Sapienza University Department of Political Science and by the Center for American Studies of Rome, without whose fundamental support this international project would not have been carried out.
We would like to thank all the speakers who have decided to join our project, with a specific regard to Prof. J. Freeman (Harvard Law School), Prof. M. Gerrard (Columbia Law School), Prof. M. Scanlan (Vermont Law School), Prof. C. Yukins (GWU School of Law) and Prof. J. Dernbach (Widener University).
The all-day colloquium will begin at 9:30 a.m. on May 30, 2019, at the Center for American Studies, Via M. CAETANI, 32, Rome.
