We’ll have top barristers and speakers from organizations such as Opportunity Green and Friends of the Earth. Each session will dive into valuable insights and discussions about legal developments impacting our environment.

For instance, a recent study found that climate litigation in many countries is on the rise, reflecting a greater public awareness and demand for accountability. Legal experts suggest that these forums not only enhance knowledge but foster community engagement around pressing climate issues.
