News & Insights

We are pleased to present the recently published article by Wolf von Kumberg โ€œThe Role of Mediation in the Green Energy Transitionโ€ which has been featured in the latest edition of the ICC Magazine

In his latest article, Wolf explores how mediation—a more flexible, cost-effective, and relationship-preserving dispute resolution method—can play a critical role in navigating these challenges.

Unlike litigation or arbitration, mediation offers: Continuity & cooperation, regulatory adaptability, early resolution and creative & inclusive solutions, allowing for input from diverse stakeholders, including governments, investors, and NGOs.

As climate policies accelerate, states and investors must embrace mediation as a strategic tool in their dispute resolution frameworks.

We are pleased to share, Arbitra International member, Jessica Crow is this week’s guest speaker at MUTE OFF Thursdays!

The start of 2025 has delivered three major setbacks for climate action: a disappointing hashtag#COP29 with inadequate outcomes on both finance and mitigation, Trump's aggressive anti-climate agenda backed by executive orders including the withdrawal from the hashtag#ParisAgreement, and the Shell climate litigation reversal in the hashtag#Netherlands. However, beneath these challenges, opportunities are emerging. Constitutional constraints limit Trump's executive power, while private coalitions are stepping in to ensure the US honours its climate commitments, and the Supreme Court has cleared the way for state-level climate damage lawsuits against fossil fuel companies.

Breakthrough rulings from the ECHR and pending ICJ advisory opinion may strengthen international climate obligations, and even the Shell ruling reinforces corporate duty of care and due diligence requirements.

This talk examines how these setbacks and opportunities are reshaping climate action, with particular focus on legal pathways to constrain hashtag#fossilfuel expansion and corporate #emissions.

Wolf von Kumberg, in his recent article for Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) Resolver Magazine, emphasises that the key to managing disputes in green energy projects is conflict avoidance

With the CIArb's Dispute Board Rules, developed during Wolf’s tenure as Chair of the Board of Management in 2014, the focus is on preventing formal disputes before they arise. These rules are important for ensuring sustainable energy projects progress without costly disruptions, particularly as we move towards achieving climate change commitments by 2050.

We at Arbitra International are proud to support Wolf’s vision of proactive conflict management. The integration of Conflict Avoidance Boards (CABs) offers a robust solution for the challenges posed by green infrastructure projects. Through collaborative, non-adversarial mechanisms, CABs can identify issues early, engage all relevant stakeholders, and keep projects on track - delivering on both environmental and business objectives.
