Mark Templeton, Associate Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Abrams Environmental Law Clinic, joined a webinar to discuss the latest on Shell's plans for Arctic Ocean exploration drilling. View the recording here.

Meeting Description: 

Even as Shell tries to position itself as a leader on climate change, the company has been pushing full steam ahead with plans to drill in the Arctic Ocean. Producing oil from unproven and extreme frontier areas, like the Arctic Ocean, is not consistent with what scientists tell us is necessary to prevent significant climate change impacts. Moreover, the exploration program pursued by Shell in one of the most remote and dangerous places in the world, creates significant risks for the company and the wildlife and people who live in the Arctic.

Find out about Shell’s checkered past in its attempts to explore the Arctic. Learn about the most recent decisions on Shell’s proposals and hear from two of the leading legal experts on the material financial risks that Shell is obligated to disclose. Explore opportunities to engage as an investor to ensure that the risks of Arctic drilling are fully taken into account.
