The Student CELP celebrated its first semester as a division with a Winter Conference in December 2022. Several environmental law and policy academics from Cardiff University were invited to discuss their area of interest, followed by a lively round of Q&A with Student CELP members. The event was a great opportunity for Student CELP members to network with the wider CELP network and explore the latest developments in environment law and policy with leading experts. It is hoped that the conference will become an annual event with Student CELP members from past and present, and academics from other Universities.
