Environmental Law and Sustainability Research Group (ELSRG)
The Environmental Law and Sustainability Research Group (ELSRG) provides a forum for research activity in the field of environmental, sustainability and natural resources law. The Group’s members are drawn from across the University as well as externally.
The Group is premised on the belief that environmental problems are problems of the law and society. Members are concerned with the task of connecting global sustainability challenges to the experiences of the communities and fostering innovative and practical law and policy solutions that are necessary for societies to work in harmony with nature.
