Ideas:
“  I'm currently focused on two research streams. The first is focused on climate change law and policy, with an emphasis on net-zero commitments, Paris Agreement implementation, market mechanisms and the integration of monetary values for carbon emissions into legal regimes. The second is focused on Aboriginal and Indigenous law in Canada, with emphases on major infrastructure projects, the duty to consult, and implementation of modern treaties.  ”
