About the Specialist Group
-
The purpose of this Early-Career Specialist Group (ECSG) is to foster exchanges between early-career environmental law professionals and encourage their participation in the activities of the Commission, in line with the 2021-2024 mandate of the World Commission on Environmental Law and the 2021–2024 IUCN Programme.
The ECSG’s work focuses on achieving three overarching goals:
- Provide next-generation, cutting-edge perspectives in environmental law to the World Commission on Environmental Law and the broader IUCN Programme.
- Provide a cross-cutting platform for the next generation of lawyers, policymakers, decision-makers, and scholars to exchange information and ideas on emerging and interdisciplinary topics in environmental law and meaningfully engage in environmental law research and practice.
- Promote innovative environmental law solutions to tackle the socio-ecological crisis, fostering intergenerational partnerships.
