1. Commercial arbitration: climate changes and sustainability disputes, and a focus on the future: what would be the new types of arbitration that may affect companies?

2. Investment treaty arbitration: investment treaty arbitration arising out of the changes of regulations to comply with environmental policies, and extent to which it is a valid defence for States today; discussions concerning the new BITs

3. Environmental issues and international public policy

For each topic, they will discuss the arbitration practitioners’, institutions’ and also academics’ perspective.
