A talk by Jamie Benedickson, Professor and Vice-Dean of Research, Faculty of Law (Common Law Section), University of Ottawa.

Registration is not required.

This presentation assembles several streams of research emerging as a follow-up to The Culture of Flushing: A Social and Legal History of Sewage (UBC Press, 2007). Sewage is a public health and human rights issue deeply embedded in the current challenge around Millennium Development Goals; it is an international trade issue between some jurisdictions, and it is a climate change issue associated with GHG emissions and green energy alternatives. What are the transboundary legal and policy implications of sewage regulation?

This event is part of the CIPS Study Group on Global Governance.
