Community Law & Mediation - Environmental Rights Webinar Series 2022

Community Law & Mediation - Environmental Rights Webinar Series 2022

-          Why is access to environmental information a critically important right?

-          What does public participation in environmental decision-making actually mean?

-          When is it necessary to bring legal cases to protect environmental rights – and who gets to go to Court?

Join Community Law & Mediation and guest speakers for a webinar series on environmental rights – specifically, on what is known as “the Aarhus Convention.” Legal experts, journalists, and activists will explain why environmental rights matter and how individuals and organisations can benefit from exercising these rights.

Who is this webinar useful for?

This webinar series is free and open to all. However, we would strongly encourage those with no prior knowledge of environmental rights or the Aarhus Convention to join, as well as those working with organisations or grassroots groups on issues related to health, housing, social inclusion, poverty, anti-discrimination, or equality. Environmental rights are fundamentally connected to these issues, and may provide new perspectives in thinking about how such issues can be addressed.

We are grateful to the Community Foundation for Ireland for funding this training series.
