Festival of Environmental Law & Governance

The Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance (SCELG) organised its inaugural Festival of Environmental Law and Governance from 2-5 May 2017 in Glasgow. The Festival comprised a series of events to explore current challenges and new directions across all aspects and levels of environmental law and governance with researchers at different stages of their careers, as well as Scottish and international practitioners and stakeholders.

The SCELG team looks forward to staying in touch with the Festival participants and is pleased to facilitate networking among them. We plan to hold the Festival every year during the Engage with Strathclyde week and welcome suggestions on topics or types of events that would be of particular interest to our partners.
