Universities have the capacity to assist and support communities to respond to climate change by enhancing the community’s understanding and its consequences and by facilitating improvement in the community’s ability to adapt to change.
This initiative is being promoted in law schools
“A degree that includes a focus upon climate change will empower its graduates to go out and make a difference. It will help lawyers help their communities to adapt and respond to climate change . By providing such a program, law schools will once again be fulfilling their commitment to serve the public good,”
Associate Professor Ireland-Piper and Professor James said
