UKELA's Public Health and Environmental Law Working Party:

 Launch and Inaugural seminar

Time: 6pm (5.30pm registration)

Venue: 39 Essex Chambers

Environmental law is built on public health statute. The new Public Health and Environmental Law Working Party is an opportunity to re-invigorate the link between public health and environmental protection. Please join us for the inaugural seminar for the new Working Party to find out why it is more important than ever in a soon to be post Brexit Britain, for environmental law to remember its public health roots in order to affect socio-political change towards the natural environment.

This is a unique opportunity for legal practitioners, nature conservation advocates, scientists and physicians to come together to  critically analyse how environmental law should respond to the evolution of scientific knowledge about environmentally-related disease and its impact on public health.

We look forward to you joining us.  We are delighted to welcome the following speakers:
