Hybrid event: 'Transnational climate and ecological litigation: Exploring the transformative role of actors in shaping legal mechanisms'

Workshop organized by the ERC Curiae Virides Research Project - Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) and the Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios sobre Desarrollo (CIDER) - Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), in cooperation with the Programa Andino de Derechos Humanos of the Universidad Andina Simon Bolivar (Ecuador), the Raoul Wallenberg Institute on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) (Sweden), the Center for Sustainability Studies (Lund University, Sweden) and the Global Network of Human Rights and the Environment (GNHRE). 

Legal action is increasingly being pursued globally in response to perceived environmental injustices, adverse environmental impacts, and ecological conflicts. This hybrid workshop aims to facilitate knowledge-sharing and collaboration among experts and civil society regarding the challenges and opportunities of using judicial and quasi-judicial mechanisms to transform transnational social-ecological disputes and promote ecological, territorial, and human rights protection.

Registrations for this event will open on 1 March 2024.
