Ecological Law: Emerging themes and recent developments

Ecological law aims to give coherence to law that align with ecological economics. This session will provide insights on emerging themes and recent developments in ecological law in 2023. Panelists are engaged with research linked to the Leadership for the Ecozoic (L4E) initiative (l4ecozoic.org) and the Ecological Law and Governance Association (ELGA)(elgaworld.org). They will discuss themes such as rights of nature, legal aspects of “territories of life” and placebased governance, ecological law case studies, water governance, climate governance and more, and will provide updates on developments in ecological approaches to law. The session will provide ample time for participant engagement.
