This is a unique and exciting opportunity to work in the area of environmental justice.
Community Law & Mediation’s Centre for Environmental Justice was formally launched by Mary Robinson on 11 February 2021. The Centre is the first of its kind in Ireland and the objective of the Centre is to empower communities experiencing disadvantage on environmental justice issues.
Environmental Justice ensures that marginalised groups are not disproportionately impacted by climate change or other environmental harms and that environmental measures and climate action protect and build equality and social justice.
The Centre provides legal information and advice on individual and community queries through a monthly legal advice clinic as well as training and information resources to advance and address environmental concerns and increase participation on environmental issues. The Centre is also engaged in law reform and policy work.
