APCEL Featured in the Manila Times

On 31 December 2022, APCEL was featured in an Opinion Column written by Amado Tolentino Jr., published in one of the Philippine’s leading national broadsheets, The Manila Times. The piece is entitled, ‘Asean: Focus on environmental law education’. In it, Tolentino Jr. makes the case for greater environmental education and, specifically, that environmental law be taught as a compulsory subject in law schools. He  then elaborates on how the establishment of APCEL in 1996 and its initial ‘Training the Trainors Course on Capacity Building For Environmental Legal Education’ had been a useful step for regional capacity building.
