Welcome
The new Environmental Justice Partnership is an exciting and innovative collaboration between UWE Bristol, Bristol Green Capital Partnership, the Environmental Law Foundation, Deighton Pierce Glynn and the ADR Group, Bristol. The service will offer a focal point to gather and address all environmental issues affecting Bristol and the South West to serve the interests of individuals as well as social and business communities.
Recognizing the Crime of Ecocide
CLARS is working closely with Polly Higgins; the activist for recognition by States that destruction of the environment should, in certain circumstances, be a crime.
A mock trial on ecocide will be held on June 15th. 2012. A number of leading legal personnel will participate in the trial which will serve to explore the issues.
This is a prequel to a test case before the courts. Currently we are working with various charities through our oceanic expert, Tom Appleby, to find a suitable test case eg overfishing in the North Sea.
