Will Blockchain save the Environment?

A lot has been written over the past few years about the benefits of Blockchain for information security. As a public digital ledger it records transactions from many computers so that the records cannot be amended retrospectively. It has become such a trusted source of information a court in China has recently allowed it to be used as evidence in a case of copyright infringement. Blockchain is now being used to bolster agreements such as the Paris Agreement (“PA”) on Climate

Comparing Carbon Emission Trading Schemes of China, Japan & Korea and assessing their readiness

The 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change[1] has prompted countries to consider stronger policies to achieve de-carbonization. One of the most efficient ways to reduce GHG emissions is the carbon pricing policy instruments. In this regard Asia is rapidly establishing itself as new Emission Trading Scheme (“ETS”) hub. To help speed industries’ transition away from emissions-intensive production, Asian countries are increasingly exploring carbon pricing policies[2]. Some of t

Speaking @ INTA conference in Dubai on IP and Climate Change - Don't miss it, register and meet

I am delighted INTA has invited me to speak on IP and Climate Change at INTA Dubai Conference on December 10-11, 2018. And above all, I am very much honored to share the Climate Change topic with the conference’s keynote speaker, Michael Haddad. At the age of 6, Mike was subject to a spinal cord injury from a jet ski accident, which left him paralyzed from the chest down, or in other words 75 % of his body is completely paralyzed. Against all odds and despite the medical imp

Lecturing on Climate Change and IP at Sun Yat-Sen School of Law, Institute of South China Sea Strat

There are high expectations resulting from the Paris Agreement (“PA”) as a milestone in global efforts to address Climate Change. Such efforts encompass a wide range of measures at many levels. Chief among them is the long-term global energy technology diffusion patterns required to reach a Climate Change target with a maximum average atmospheric temperature increase of 2˚ celcius by 2100. My research paper I will present at Sun Yat-Sen University on September 15, 2018 will c

Meeting with the Global Environment Center Foundation, Climate Change Division, in Osaka.

On August 31, 2018, I met with Tomoya MOTODA and Hiroyuki SAITO of the Global Environment Center Foundation (GECF), Climate Change Division, in Osaka. The object of my meeting was to discuss the financial mechanism established by the GECF : the Joint Credit Mechanism ("JCM"). In brief, the JCM is a system to finance, up to 50 %, the total cost of transferring low carbon technologies originating from Japan to developing countries in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ("

Long awaited rule book of the Paris Agreement to be further discussed in Bangkok prior to its possib

Following the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2016, Parties need to issue its implementing rules also known as “rule book” to give details and guidance on implementing the Paris Agreement. The rule book is seen as a major test of the international commitment of the Paris Agreement since it should bring the PA to further steps further. Several issues causing delay in adopting the “rule book” relate to the financing mechanism embedded into the PA (USD 100 billion a year by 2

IP AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is no longer a buzz word, it's a worldwide and daily reality we cannot ignore.

As one of the first firms to practice IP with Climate Change, Rouse is at the forefront of this emerging area.

Fabrice Mattei heads the firm's Climate Change practice. We have expertise in areas of carbon market and footprint, regulatory proceedings, grid interconnections, emissions trading schemes, renewable energy, energy efficiency and technology transfers to adapt or mitigate to climate change.

We have participated and spoken to all UNFCCC's COPs on Climate Change since the COP 21 during which the Paris Agreement (PA) on Climate Change was adopted.

We help our clients navigate the evolving world of Climate Change regulation and unlock opportunities in a fast increasingly carbon-constrained economy. Regulations on global warming are quickly reshaping the business and IP landscape.

The long-awaited Rule Book of the PA will soon bring the agreement to further steps and may well mean additional significant compliance obligations on companies. We combine IP and Climate Change in developing and implementing branding and technology strategies for our clients around the world.
