This report on the feasibility of an Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland was commissioned by SE LINK’s Legal Strategy Subgroup in May 2017, and is authored by Dr Ben Christman LLB, LLM, PhD, Dip LP.
The study finds a clear need for a specialist environmental law centre to provide affordable legal representation, carry out public legal education, conduct research and advocacy and pursue strategic litigation.
The report recommendations are being taken forward through a new Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland, supported by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. Two new members of staff start in January 2020.
