Environmental law and governance are at the heart of our research, which is carried out through individual and collective projects. We focus on three key areas:
- environmental and energy regulation
- environmental justice
- natural resources management
Our research centre
The Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law & Governance (SCELG) is a centre of academic excellence in environmental law and governance. The goal of the centre and of its members is to foster multidisciplinary and policy relevant research in International, European and national (both Scottish and English) environmental law.
SCELG also operates as a hub for excellence in PhD and postgraduate teaching programmes in environmental law and governance within the School of Law. It hosts a Visiting Researcher Programme and welcomes consultancy collaborations with public and private policy makers and stakeholders.
