Summary
Environmental law is central to biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource management and protecting human wellbeing. However, operationalising legislation relies entirely on capable lawyers to forward cases. Yet, environmental law education is often absent or incomplete, and lawyers, prosecutors and judges are often ill-trained to meaningfully operationalise existing laws. This project will empower law students, civil society and government lawyers in the Philippines to use existing laws to remedy environmental harm. This will develop a model that can be scaled globally.
