Public Interest Litigation on the Intersections between Human Rights and Climate Justice: how pro bono lawyers make a difference

This event, celebrating UK Pro Bono Week 2022, is hosted by The Public Interest Litigation Support (PILS) Project. PILS is a Belfast-based organisation which provides legal and financial support to NGOs and legal professionals in Northern Ireland to help build public interest litigation, thereby advancing human rights and equality for the benefit of society as a whole.

Tuesday 8 November @ 18.00 (60 mins)

Pro bono lawyers have a vital role to play in climate justice cases, particularly where those cases affect marginalised communities, whose access to justice is often impaired or restricted.

This webinar will look at the developing area of rights-based climate litigation and the different ways in which human rights intersect with climate justice. Our stellar panel of speakers are at the cutting edge of driving social change and strategic litigation:

Speakers:

Laura Neal, Friends of the Earth NI

Paul Clark, Garden Court Chambers;

Sinéad Magner, WEDO;
