Professor David Freestone delivered the 2009 Annual Ingram Lecture on 13 August. In his address on ‘Climate Change and Development’, Professor Freestone examined some of the present and expected impacts of climate change on the developing world.

Professor Freestone is the Lobingier Visiting Professor of Comparative Law and Jurisprudence at the George Washington University Law School in Washington DC and a former Deputy General Counsel of the World Bank. He was in Australia as the Ingram Visiting Fellow in the Faculty of Law at UNSW.

The Ingram Visiting Fellowship is funded by the Ingram Fund for International Law and Development, generously donated by Mr James Ingram AO, former Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme. The purpose of the fund is to promote the study, teaching and dissemination of international law at UNSW and to foster understanding of the impact of law on the interests of developing countries.
