This year's annual Public Interest Environmental Law (PIEL) Conference will focus on the theme 'Trading Towards Unsustainability: The Legal Challenges'. With trade frequently demonised as a primary cause of environmental degradation, the aim is to look critically at the relationship between the two fields, the conflicts and convergence, and to explore the potential for trade law to reflect and contribute positively to addressing global environmental imperatives such as climate change.
FEES:
£5.00 for students;
£20.00 for practitioners.
