ITA-ALARB Americas Workshop

The ITA-ALARB Workshop will provide an overview of the tension between the protections provided in investment treaties and restrictions to those protections in the interests of achieving environmental objectives and protecting States’ right to regulate, with a particular emphasis on Latin America investment arbitration cases and how they have interpreted environmental carve-outs.  It will also address how ESG commitments adopted by States and corporate actors may shape environmental regulation, and interpretation in potential disputes.
