Lawyers, law students and educators, and justice allies are invited to a four-part webinar series, Invitation to Just Transition Lawyering, to be held every Thursday in August. Hosted by the Just Transition Lawyering Institute of the Gulf Coast Center for Law and Poverty, the series includes:
August 5: Vision for Black Lives, Red, Black and Green New Deal, and the National Black Climate Mandate
August 12: Achieving Environmental Justice as Part of a Just Transition
August 19: The Laws of Equitable Disaster Recovery
August 26: Climate Justice: Beyond Repair and Restoration to Building the New.
The invitation reads: “Responding to the impact of the global climate crisis on natural resources, frontline communities, human rights and democracy, Just Transition Lawyering provides strategic and allied support to the leaders and communities anchoring and building the environmental & climate justice movement. Just Transition Lawyering works to end discriminatory and destructive practices and policies, while imagining new, justice-oriented alternatives using the law and legal system. The Just Transition Lawyering webinar series explains basic concepts of climate change, racial justice, economic justice and Just Transition Lawyering through the lens of lawyers on the frontlines.
