International Lawyers Project

JOIN US for a discussion with representatives from International Lawyers Project, an international non-governmental organisation providing pro bono legal support to civil society, communities, and governments to advance economic and environmental justice and the rule of law globally. The session will explore how the law can be used to protect people and the planet, advance environmental justice, strengthen accountability and transparency, and support communities facing environmental challenges on the ground.
