ELTE Law School will host a Workshop on Future Generations Litigation and Transformative Changes in Environmental Governance, convened together with Aarhus University.

The workshop aims to: 

  • map the extent and nature of the transformative impact that future generations litigation showcases on key legal concepts and doctrines; 
  • appraise the resulting changes of a more systemic nature in environmental governance; 
  • reflect on whether this new wave of litigation is capable of remedying some of the long-standing shortcomings in environmental law and policy-making, including non-inclusivity in representation, unfettered governmental discretion in setting environmental policies and utilizing natural resources, presentism of decision-making processes, state-centred governance, and anthropocentrism. 

Applicants are requested to submit a max 2-page long CV and a max 500-word abstract relating to one of the relevant topics by 31 January 2023 to the Organizing Committee at the following email address: futuregenerationslitigation@gmail.com
