Center for Global Law presents a project awarded by the FAPERJ/France call for proposals

Professor Paula Wojcikiewicz Almeida, coordinator of the Center for Research in Global Law (CPDG) and the Jean Monnet Excellence Center at FGV Rio Law, presented the results of the project "La participation et les narrations des États du Sud lors de l'avis consultatif du TIDM sur le changement climatique." The study was financed by the 4th International Mobility Call FAPERJ-France. 
 
Conducted in collaboration with the Institut de recherche en droit international et européen (IREDIES) of Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, under the coordination of Professor of International Law Jean-Marc Sorel, the project received support from FAPERJ and the French Embassy in Brazil.  
 
Objective of the project 
 
The study investigates how Global South states articulate their narratives and participate in the advisory opinion on climate change submitted to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Hamburg. The research is part of CPDG's line of study on global litigation, analyzing the construction of political and strategic discourses in international tribunals.
