Today marked my first day as an assistant professor at Université de Montréal! Very excited to embark on this new adventure and to build my lab! Many thanks to my great supervisors, Dr. Jean-François Bureau, Dr. Sheri Madigan (she/her), and Natasha J. Cabrera, for their unwavering support along the way!

A global legal precedent on #climatechange is important, said Steve Lorteau, a doctoral candidate (SJD) at #UofTLaw who focuses on land-use law and is conducting a statistical analysis of global climate litigation. 🌎

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… (via The Globe and Mail)

My thoughts on the recent developments in #climatelitigation : 'A global legal precedent on climate change is important' but these cases 'take a lot of time' and require 'NGO support, resources, lawyerly expertise.' Litigation should be seen as a complementary legal strategy.
