CIL - ILA International Law and Principles of Sustainable Business

Description
The importance of sustainability in international trade and commerce is gaining attention in a world where businesses are increasingly recognising that they can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to practices that do more damage than harm in the long-term. Not only are consumers demanding accountability on sustainability practices, but businesses are beginning to realise that unsustainable practices often cost more in the long-term. In an intricately interconnected world where health or environmental practices in one country affect many others, change in sustainability practices are most effectively addressed when states cooperate for a common good. This makes the intersection of international law and sustainability an especially pertinent one. This webinar seeks to examine this intersection through the lenses of four key areas where sustainability concerns are real: environment, human rights, global health, and sanctions.
