Lawyers and charities both have crucial roles to play in the fight against climate change. For our first episode, we were joined by Didem Sezgin, PhD student at the Climate Law and Governance Centre at King’s College London, and Catia Squarcia, Programme Manager at the educational charity ecoACTIVE. We explored the idea of ‘ecological integrity’, which breaks free from the traditional anthropocentric focus of the law, and how climate change undermines our universal rights. This raised an important question: what is more effective, top-down environmental policies or grassroots activism?
