Climate Law and Governance Day (CLGD) brings together climate law experts, but also experts from other legal branches including public law, tort law, financial law, international economic law as well as governance experts, delegates and policy practitioners to exchange knowledge and experiences.

The initiative also continues to be supported by a diverse network of IGO, university, and NGO partners, as well as law firms and associations. See the CLGI website for more information.
