Legally Green

Legally Green is a student-led project that promotes awareness of environmental law, sustainability and climate change. At its core, the project seeks to demonstrate how legal frameworks can be used to address environmental challenges while encouraging students to engage with issues that are becoming increasingly relevant across legal practice, business and public policy.
 

Since its establishment, Legally Green has contributed to a range of environmental initiatives within the University and wider community. Previous achievements have included guest speaker events, sustainability campaigns, collaboration with external organisations and engagement with the School of Law on the development of environmental law teaching. These efforts have helped to increase awareness of environmental issues and strengthen student engagement with sustainability.
 

For the 2026/27 academic year, the project will focus on building greater awareness of Environmental Law and the Climate Change and Sustainability module available within the School of Law. Through introductory presentations and academic engagement, Legally Green aims to help students understand both the legal and commercial relevance of environmental issues, including their growing importance in areas such as ESG, infrastructure, planning and investment.
 

The project will also provide opportunities for students to engage with professionals working in environmental law, policy and sustainability through careers events, guest speakers and networking opportunities. Students will be invited to submit articles discussing environmental legal developments, sustainability challenges and significant cases, with selected submissions published on a regular basis. The project also hopes to introduce environmental law essay competitions to encourage legal research and discussion.

​

By combining education, professional engagement and public awareness, Legally Green aims to foster informed discussion on environmental issues while supporting students in developing skills that will remain valuable throughout their legal careers.
