Description
Environmental Courts and Tribunals (ECTs) are essential to achieve environmental rule of law by giving litigants access to justice and a venue for effective and speedy dispute resolution. ECTs have been proven to be effective in many national and sub-national jurisdictions. Successful ECTs are posited to be better able to address the pressing environmental disputes and are better positioned than an ordinary court or tribunal to develop innovative remedies and holistic solutions to environmental problems. Hence, ECTs have been seen as a potent mechanism to safeguard environmental rule of law and the effective settlement of environmental disputes across jurisdictions. Join us as we bring together experts and stakeholders to have a broad-ranging discussion on trends and best practices related to ECTs in the region. APCEL is supporting ARIEL to organize this webinar on August 25, Dr. Linda Yanti Sulistiawati (APCEL) will be one of the speakers for the event.
