Building Power in the Environmental Movement Series (Part 1): Tracking Progress on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Environmental Law
A video recording of the event is available here.
The environmental law field has been slower to diversify than the larger environmental movement. What are the best strategies for addressing this? And what are firms and other legal organizations already doing that is working? To discuss these questions, we were joined by experts working on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion at environmental NGOs and law firms.
