His doctoral thesis focused on the legal issues related to climate technology transfer in the wake of the adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement. His postdoctoral research project then examined the implementation of corporate climate disclosure rules and their interaction with international public law standards and mechanisms. Since 2025, Charles has been working as a lawyer at the CQDE, where he leads work on greenwashing and sustainable finance.
