Thanks to all the speakers at the #EnergyLaw section of the 2026 @SLSConference this week It's been great convening the section again with Tabetha Kurtz-Shefford on behalf of @AberdeenUniLaw & @SwanseaUni Looking forward to next year already! @legalscholars #SLSUEA2026

We obsess about C02 in climate law&policy, but there are other negative GHGs too - #METHANE's in the front rank! Our new extensive study "Methane Emissions: Current Trends in Policy and Regulation" covers this! In @THEFNREL journal From @AberdeenUni,@WoodPlc, @USPOnline, @LSBU

Enjoyed Chairing Panel 1 & speaking in Panel 2 on behalf of @AberdeenUni at @LawSociety_NI's excellent Climate Justice Conference 2026 last Thursday. With a powerful keynote talk from @Salazar_Edu stressing the ecological crisis at #LoughNeagh & drawing lessons from Spain!

Invigorating to make a morning trip to #LoughNeagh yesterday with @Salazar_Edu & colleagues to better assess & discuss grave environmental difficulties facing the British Isle's biggest freshwater lake! Many thanks @LawSociety_NI (organisers) & @LoughNeaghPart (hosts)

My new writing, "Recollections of my Late Friend, Len Doyal": abdn.ac.uk/law/blog/recollec… Len Doyal was an eminent medical ethicist, driving force in the #CharlesByrne campaign, &all-round great person. He passed away last year. Inc., old pics of us working on the Byrne case.

Lovely returning to @EdinburghUni to give a keynote lecture at @EdLawPGConf 2026 last Friday 12th! Following @IgnacioCofone (@OxfordLawFac),I covered "Reimagining Justice",referencing #AdministrativeLaw,#Climate,#Energy& #NetZero Hosted by @Amrikri,Nuh Günay,Jakub Suchnicki

It was a beautiful occasion in London last night celebrating the life of my beloved friend Prof Len Doyal, who passed away recently last year. A great person, friend, & philosopher. Our shared adventures working on the #FreeCharlesByrne case came second to our friendship.

A pleasure closing out last week’s Carbon Capture & Storage at Sea conference 2026 with Viktor Weber, Patrick Seroogy, & project leads Olena Bokareva & Gabriela Argüello, at Lund University, Sweden! Post-conference publication info&more here: ccsatsea2026.com

Lovely being in Lund, #Sweden, again this week. Last pic here I took of #AugustStrindberg's back window in the house where he wrote #Inferno, which I read after seeing a Belfast translation of his play "The Stronger" nearly 2 decades ago! #CityLund #Belfast

In the lovely city of Lund, #Sweden, for work- surreal to find I'm staying directly opposite the house of one of my favourite playwrights, the surrealist & imaginative #AugustStrindberg... My hotel window looks right into his old house!! #CityLund #Belfast

Good story in this week's @TheGaudie outlining why more needs to be done to protect #StFitticksPark, Aberdeen, as part of the "Just Energy Transition"- it remains under serious threat of negative impacts from the proposed Energy Transition Zone! @Caie_Richard @Fittick
