- **Event Description**: In-conversation event with Prof Elisa Morgera, UN Special Rapporteur on climate change, on a just and effective global transitionAbout this EventLimiting catastrophic climate change requires more than incremental emissions reductions. A successful response to mitigate the climate crisis requires a fundamental transformation of the global economy away from fossil fuels. Yet efforts to “defossilize” the global economy raise major economic, political, legal, and ethical questions. In this event, Elisa Morgera, UN Special Rapporteur on climate change, will reflect on what a just and effective global transition away from fossil fuels entails.In-conversation event with:Professor Elisa Morgera, UN Special Rapporteur on climate change.
