The Law Society of Northern Ireland is delighted to host its inaugural Climate Justice Conference
Focusing on the ecological crisis at Lough Neagh, the conference will bring together a range of perspectives to examine the complex legal, regulatory, and governance issues associated with large-scale ecological change. The event is designed to provide a space for informed, constructive discussion on how different systems and institutions interact, and how they can be strengthened to support more effective environmental outcomes.
Join the Conversation
This is a unique opportunity to engage with one of the most pressing issues facing Northern Ireland, and to explore how law can help shape the response.

A light lunch and refreshments will be served from 12pm with the conference to begin at 12:30pm
