Iowa Law Review is proud to present its 2024 Symposium: “The Economic Impacts of Climate Change.” This event will gather scholars from across the country to discuss how public and private institutions can collectively address climate change on both national and international levels. Topics will span the ideological spectrum and include dialogue on climate reparations, decarbonization, green-to-gold initiatives, and business purpose in a climate-focused world. Set against the backdrop of growing concerns about the cost of climate change, this Symposium will bring together the minds at the forefront of these prominent issues. Written pieces accompanying this year’s Symposium will be published in Issue 5 of Vol. 110 of the Iowa Law Review.
