Bergen Energy and Climate Law Days 2025

Climate change, the energy transition, and the need to find a balance between technological and social development with the protection and preservation of nature, create new legal challenges. The Bergen Energy and Climate Law Days will combine presentations and paper discussions by senior and younger legal researchers from the Nordics, creating a meeting place, encouraging dialogue, and being a regional dissemination arena for legal research.
