It has profoundly disrupted daily lives\, communities and the global economy and requires an unparalleled response. If anything\, COVID-19 has once again highlighted the need for international and European cooperation during crises and beyond.

Due to COVID-19 London Climate Action Week 2020 will take place in two instalments across the year. London Climate Action Week Digital will run from 1-3 July. It will convene climate leadership across London to deliberate the climate policy response to COVID-19. London Climate Action Week 2020 will run from 16-22 November.

SUMMARY:The German Constitutional Court and the European Central Bank: earthquake or tremor?
DESCRIPTION:The German Constitutional Court’s decision on PSPP: constitutional earthquake? \nIn its judgment pronounced on 5 May\, the Second Senate of the German Federal Constitutional Court granted several constitutional complaints directed against the Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) of the European Central Bank (ECB). \nWe are joined by three panellists to consider how the decision fits with the other major European Monetary Union decisions and ongoing questions concerning the role of the European Central Bank; the broader economic implications of the German Federal Constitutional Court’s decision for the ECB’s independence and for the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme; as well as other constitutional questions such as the relationship between the German Constitutional Court and the European Court of Justice\, including the role of judicial dialogue in the EU constitutional order. \nProfessor Catherine Barnard\, who will chair the discussion\, is a Professor of EU law and Employment Law\, a Senior Tutor at Trinity College\, Cambridge\, and a senior fellow at UK in a Changing Europe. \nProfessor Michael Waibel is a Professor of International Law at the University of Vienna. He worked at the European Central Bank\, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. \nDr Markus Gehring is an Expert in the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS)\, Fellow and Director of Studies in Law at Hughes Hall\, Cambridge\, and a Fellow of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law. \nThere will be the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers after the discussion. \nYou can watch the event video here: \n \nPassword:BGA250620

SUMMARY:Written and Unwritten Constitutions: The Pros and Cons
DESCRIPTION:This year\, the German Basic Law (Grundgesetz) celebrates its 70th birthday. It was introduced in 1949 as a provisional legal framework for post-War Germany. It has become a cornerstone of the Federal Republic. \nThere is no single British constitutional document. Constitutional customs have evolved over time in the UK without necessarily being written down.  \nWhat are the merits of constitutions generally\, and what are the pros and cons of written constitutions? What factors account for the Basic Law’s enduring success\, and what challenges\, if any\, does it now face? Is the UK’s unwritten constitution fit for purpose in a time of political and social division\, and what role should judges play in interpreting it? \nThe BGA and BGJA are honoured to host two leading constitutional judges to discuss these and other questions. \nProf. Dr. Peter M. Huber is a Supreme Court Justice on the Bundesverfassungsgericht (German Federal Constitutional Court)\, the highest court in Germany for constitutional issues. From 2003-2004\, he served as an expert member of the Commission on the Reform of the Federal System of Government established by the German Federal Legislature. In 2009-2010\, he was Interior Minister in Thüringen. Born in 1959\, Prof. Huber studied law at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich and at the Université de Genève. \nJonathan\, Lord Mance was Deputy President of the Supreme Court in 2017 and 2018\, having become a Justice of the Supreme Court on its formation in 2009. Lord Mance sat on the Council of Europe’s Consultative Council of European Judges\, becoming its first elected chair from 2000 to 2003. In the House of Lords\, he chaired a sub-committee of the European Union Select Committee\, scrutinising proposals concerning European law and institutions. \nThe event will be held in English. \nYou can watch the event video here: \n \nPassword: BGA Constitutions Event \n

SUMMARY:Versailles 1919 - A Centennial Perspective
DESCRIPTION:On 28 June 1919 the Treaty of Peace between the allied and the associated powers and Germany was signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Professor Alan Sharp\, one of the most eminent historians in the field\, will take a centennial perspective of the Versaille Settlement. Series editor of the 32-volume Makers of the Modern World: the peace conferences of 1919-23 and their aftermath\, Professor Sharp sets the consequences into their long-term context. He argues that the responsibility for Euope’s continuing interwar instability cannot be wholly attributed to the peacemakers of 1919-23. \n \n  \nAlan Sharp was Professor of International Studies and Provost of the Coleraine campus of the University of Ulster.
