Can a river have rights? Legal personhood is a key aspect of the Rights of Nature, a rapidly evolving area in environmental law, policy and green finance. Giving legal personality to trees or rivers might sound strange, but it is becoming a legal reality in some parts of the world including Latin America, New Zealand and Europe. This collaborative event for LCAW supported by Achill Legal, the Environmental Law Foundation and Fleet Street Quarter, will explore how we can build on the growing Rights of Nature discussion and create a movement for change that includes the key stakeholders and decision makers. Our participative symposium brings together key stakeholders; from law, government, finance, business and the arts, to exchange ideas and create an action agenda for the future. We will be inviting all participants back in 6 months' time to discuss progress and action. This is an invitation only event, Please email [email protected] to express an interest and we will be in touch soon.

Exclusive in-person event for LSA members only. As the Omnibus threatens to pause progress, we explore how to keep eyes on the transformation prize. The Omnibus has dominated the discourse, threatening to pause progress and causing widespread uncertainty. But in the face of extreme weather events, raging wildfires and widespread human rights abuses, ‘stopping the clock’ is not an option. Amidst increasing adversity and political tensions, we must ask ourselves: what is driving us, the regulation or the need for transformation? We will explore the power of collective action and cross-functional expertise to drive transformational change in line with the original intent outlined within CSRD: business transformation towards a more sustainable economy. Places are limited. Please email Camilla on [email protected] to express an interest.
