#LivefromLucy with Professor Marie-Claire Cordonier Segger

Wed 14 October 2020

Lucy Cavendish College

This Live from Lucy talk will highlight law and governance interfaces at the international level, and innovations adopted at the national level, that synergistically advance both achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering post-pandemic economic recovery while laying the groundwork for long-term restructuring towards the green economy. And why Law must work to foster post-pandemic recovery which prioritizes achievement of the SDGs as the agreed global developmental architecture.
