Resilience of Complex Legal Systems in Sustainability Transformation
Towards a just green transition in the Finnish legal system, the Relief project explores the complexity and resilience of the Finnish legal system in the context of sustainability.
Lead by Professor Niko Soininen, the project aims to develop theories and methods for scoping leverage points in the legal system and to evaluate their impact on society for reaching ambitious climate change, biodiversity protection and environmental quality objectives.
Relief envisions a world where understanding and influencing legal system dynamics leads to just transformation. Through their unique approach, it bridges the gap between the public and private realms by fostering meaningful interactions that create a powerful network for transforming the law.
The main output of the project is the Transformation toolkit, a step-by-step guide that empowers policymakers, public authorities, companies, and citizens to help them build a world where legal systems drive sustainability.
