IL COLLOQUIO IAPL 2026 A PARIGI SI AVVICINA!

Sotto la direzione scientifica della professoressa Soraya Amrani Mekki, il Colloquio IAPL 2026 si terrà a Parigi dal 28 al 30 ottobre 2026 e sarà dedicato al tema della giustizia ambientale.

La sessione inaugurale avrà luogo presso la Cour de cassation, alla presenza del Primo Presidente. È prevista, salvo conferma, anche la partecipazione di Laurent Fabius — già Primo ministro, attuale Presidente del Consiglio costituzionale e capo negoziatore dell’Accordo di Parigi.

Le restanti sessioni del Colloquio si svolgeranno presso il campus di Saint-Germain-des-Prés di Sciences Po Paris, in concomitanza con la Paris Climate Week.

Nel corso delle due giornate di lavori, i partecipanti approfondiranno in particolare i seguenti temi:

• La nozione di «parti del processo»
• L’individuazione del giudice competente per materia
• La prova e le sue criticità
• Le alternative al ricorso al giudice
• I rimedi
• Le decisioni giudiziarie in materia ambientale

A breve sarà pubblicata una call for papers, insieme all’annuncio di un workshop dedicato all’analisi di un caso pratico comune, esaminato alla luce delle diverse prospettive dei vari ordinamenti giuridici.

In tale occasione sarà conferito il Premio Storme dell’IAPL.

Al termine della cerimonia di chiusura, il 30 ottobre, la tradizionale Cena di Gala offrirà un’opportunità unica di confronto, networking e celebrazione.
