It looks at rethinking the law school classroom to support environmental development in all forms, ranging from adopting pro-environment legislation to supporting public interest litigation.

This particular theme explores the inter-relationships amongst intersectional higher legal education and inclusive economic development. Therefore, discussions and outputs will focus on how future legal practitioners and legislatures can be trained to shape the law as a catalyst of sustainable economic development.
