SUMMARY:Climate Effects under the EIA Directive
DESCRIPTION:Contact: amanda.kron@jur.lu.se\n\nScreening for Sustainability 
 seminar - “Climate Effects under the EIA Directive”Benoit Mayer\, Prof
 essor of Climate Law at the School of Law at the University of Reading.Cli
 mate Effects under the EIA DirectiveThe EU Environmental Impact Assessment
  (EIA) Directive was amended in 2014 to require developers to assess the s
 ignificant direct and indirect effects of their projects on climate change
 . Sixteen national lawsuits have already sought to determine which indirec
 t climate effects had to be assessed. Courts have often required the asses
 sment of the downstream combustion emissions from oil-and-gas extraction p
 rojects\, but they have otherwise been divided\, including on the need to 
 assess spillover effects such as market substitution. Judges have presumed
  that only those effects with a ‘sufficient’ causal link to the projec
 t had to be assessed\, but they have struggled to define a test of causal 
 proximity. This article argues that significance\, rather than causal prox
 imity\, should be the main touchstone for determining whether a climate ef
 fect should be assessed under the EIA Directive.The seminar will consist o
 f 20-30 minutes presentation\, followed by a discussion.This seminar serie
 s is made possible by generous contributions from Formas\, the Marianne an
 d Marcus Wallenberg Foundation\, the Centre for European Studies at Lund U
 niversity and the Lund University Human Rights Profile Area.&nbsp\;\n\nMor
