The workshops are a series of gatherings which bring together lawyers and others interested in learning more about the emerging global rights of nature movement, and exploring how its key principles and cases could be applied to other areas of the law. These include human rights, children’s rights, and corporate accountability. The aim is to expand legal imagination and strengthen legal skills; to learn about concrete examples of innovative ‘rights of nature’ legal developments from around the world, and how to apply them; to build a RoN legal practice community; to generate collective action towards transformative environmental and social change. Beneficiaries: Approximately 30-45 lawyers; 3 practitioners acting as co-facilitators; the general public, particularly lawyers, academics, law students and communities affected by current environmental challenges.
