The World Lawyers‘ Pledge on Climate Action
The Centre for Law on Climate Change and Sustainability (CLoCCS) launhced at Reykjavik University
Dr. Snjólaug Árnadóttir recently wrote a blog post for the World Lawyers‘ Pledge on Climate Action about carbon removal in Iceland and the launch of the Centre for Law on Climate Change and Sustainability (CLoCCS). CLoCCS was established partly to honor the Pledge, which Snjólaug participated in making, and aims to accelerate climate action. The blog discusses legal gaps and inequitable outcomes of existing laws resulting from the climate crisis and explains how lawyers can address these challenges to contribute to meaningful climate action.
Earlier this year, her book Climate Change and Maritime Boundaries was published by Cambridge University Press.
Snjólaug completed a doctorate in public international law from the University of Edinburgh and a bachelor's and master's degree in law from RU. Snjólaug has specialized in law of the sea, and her work has been published in leading journals and featured on the Peace Palace Library's research guide for law of the sea. Earlier this year, her book Climate Change and Maritime Boundaries was published by Cambridge University Press. Snjólaug is one of very few Icelanders who have signed a contract with this prestigious publishing house.
