The Role and Impact of Law in Sustainability Transformation
Interested in discussing what the role and impact of law is in sustainability transformation? Join us in a hybrid seminar organised by the RELIEF-project on Tuesday 4 June 2024 at 9–12 at Think Corner in Helsinki (Yliopistonkatu 4) or online!
Speakers include Dave Huitema (Wageningen University), J.B. Ruhl (Vanderbilt University), Chris Fox (Manchester Metropolitan University), Ahjond Garmestani (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), Louis Kotzé (Research Institute for Sustainability, North-West University) and Rak Kim (Utrecht University).
RELIEF, a research project funded by the Strategic Research Council of Finland, examines the role and impact of law in sustainability transformation through the lens of resilience. We’ll explore how legal systems interact with ambitious sustainability targets, including climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and water management. Through novel theories and methodologies, RELIEF seeks to identify leverage points within the legal system that can drive transformative societal change towards sustainability. RELIEF is led by prof. Niko Soininen (University of Eastern Finland) and co- led by prof. Seita Vesa (Finnish Environment Institute).
