Comhshaol - Climate Bar Association and the Irish Centre for Human Rights, University of Galway are delighted to present a unique event shining a light on Rivers in Ireland.

This half-day conference will explore the ‘cost’ of environmental justice on the island of Ireland from two angles:

What are the financial costs for citizens and NGOs who pursue environmental justice through the legal systems and how can we develop our understanding of the rules around costs in both jurisdictions?
What sources of funding and other supports are available to citizens and NGOs in both jurisdictions, and are new initiatives required?

Join us at Waterford City Hall on 9 May 2024
