Call for Papers: “The Adjudication of Climate Change” Symposium (Deadline extended to August 1, 2025)

The Canadian Yearbook of International Law (CYIL) is soliciting papers for a symposium on “The Adjudication of Climate Change”. Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to humanity and calls for urgent and coordinated efforts of States and other stakeholders. In addition to domestic policy and legislative measures, as well as ongoing international negotiations under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, international and domestic courts and tribunals have increasingly been seized of complex issues relating to climate change.

Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract of up to 500 words by August 1, 2025 to the following email address: cyil-editor@uottawa.ca.

Those selected will be invited to present their paper at the Young Scholars’ Workshop to be held at the University of Ottawa on 12 November 2025, where they will receive constructive feedback from senior scholars and practitioners. Authors will then submit their articles for consideration by the Canadian Yearbook of International Law. Subject to favourable peer-review, articles submitted as part of the symposium will appear in Volume 63 of the Yearbook in 2026.
