Dealing with climate change has become more pressured than ever for various stakeholders in construction projects. As a result, climate change-related legal issues have been seen more frequent in construction disputes. From a question of whether a contractor violates an ESG clause in the FIDIC contract with an employer to an issue of whether a particular storm or hurricane would be regarded as a force majeure event to exempt a contractor from delay damage, the answers and their underlying arguments are never one-size-fits-all conclusions. The panellists will discuss these issues from different perspectives under both common law and civil law.

This event is organised in conjunction with the 2026 Ho Chi Minh City International Construction Arbitration Conference (HICAC2026).
