Opening up environmental justice discussions. Welcome to Just Environmental Law, the PIEL Podcast that opens up environmental justice discussions. Public Interest Environmental Law UK – also known as PIEL - is a student-led organisation that runs a yearly conference on the topic of environmental law. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic we were unable to host this year’s conference, and in its place we created this podcast channel, bringing you topical discussions on environmental law and justice.
Planet Pod’s Amanda Carpenter and PIEL co-host Rob Clarke speak to ClientEarth lawyer April Williamson and experienced fund manager and investor influence expert Tracey Campbell about the pressures on corporations over climate change, the duties on company directors and fund managers to take action, and ways for lawyers to drive improved disclosure and behaviour in the investment industry.
Join Planet Pod’s Amanda Carpenter and PIEL co-host Rob Clarke to explore what Public Interest Environmental Law means, how lawyers can contribute to public interest issues through their practices and working lives and what motivates people to get involved. We talk to guests Paul Powlesland, barrister at Ely Place Chambers and passionate advocate of wild law, and Rosa Winter, Senior Lawyer at Friends of the Earth.
The climate (and other) crises put pressure on our traditional assumptions about 'good' decision making. This lecture explores the need to continue to assess our processes, and to assert the values underpinning public involvement in environmental decision making.
