Law, Climate, and Responsibility: An Evening about the Limits of Emissions Trading

The lecture by Ref. iur. Jacqueline Simmich delves into one of the most pressing discourses of our time: How does emissions trading remain effective when market participants manipulate the system? In the reading atmosphere of an interdisciplinary climate series, it is not a dry technical presentation, but a literary and intellectually charged evening about criminal law, climate protection, and the question of social responsibility.

When Climate Policy Meets Criminal Law

VOICES FOR CLIMATE at JGU Mainz combines scientific expertise with public debate. Jacqueline Simmich's contribution addresses precisely where political action and legal norms intersect. The European emissions trading system does not appear here as an abstract set of rules, but as a sensitive instrument of climate policy, whose credibility depends on its inviolability.

A Topic with Immediate Relevance

The speaker interrogates the criminal responsibility involved in the manipulation of certificates, quantities, and prices. This forms the core tension of the evening: How far does legal sanction extend when ecological goals, market mechanisms, and political steering converge? For visitors, this creates a rare literary experience of precise argumentation, legal eloquence, and social relevance.

Interactive, Academic, and Close to the Debate

The series is designed for exchange. Discussion and Q&A sessions give the audience space to delve deeper into the theses and pose questions to the criminal law of the climate crisis. It is precisely this dialogical form that makes the evening appealing to all who want to not only understand climate justice, sustainability, and legal responsibility but also locate them within the public discourse.

Venue with Campus Character

The event location on the campus of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz stands for scientific openness and a concentrated lecture atmosphere. Public transport access is available, entrance is free, thus intentionally kept low-threshold. Those who wish to experience current climate issues with academic depth will find here an evening with substance.

Conclusion: This event promises not an easy fare, but a clever, precise, and highly topical look at the legal shadows of emissions trading. Anyone interested in climate policy, criminal law, and scientific debates will experience an evening in Mainz that resonates. Join live and follow the discussion on-site.
