The speaker was Kim Ji-seok, Senior Energy and Climate Change Officer at British Embassy in Seoul and the author of the book, Climate Recession.
This first lecture was aimed
at providing awareness about the seriousness of social problems caused by climate
change. He suggested that in comparison with the pre-industrialization era, the
environment will become so depleted and dangerous that it will be hard for
people to survive, even supposing the average temperature of the earth goes up by
only 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrialization times. In addition, Kim
explained 7 ongoing lawsuits based on the various perspectives of the world’s
nations. The lecture was an opportunity for Korean lawyers to better understand
the international components of the projected lawsuits to redress climate
change.
