The Three Degrees Conference

Three Degrees furthers the work of the Director’s groundbreaking Three Degrees Conference on the Law of Climate Change and Human Rights, held May 27–29, 2009, at the University of Washington School of Law. The conference gathered an international cross-section of key stakeholders, including corporate CEOs, World Bank consultants, former heads of state, legal scholars, physicians, atmospheric scientists, ethicists, international relief workers, disaster management agents, Native peoples, and political strategists to examine the strengths of legal institutions to provide redress for the human rights impacts of climate change.
