CELP in 2024 /25

The Centre for Environmental Law and Policy (CELP) sits within the School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University. The aim of the group is to bring together staff and students that share a concern in environmental degradation and the social conditions of its making. In doing so, CELP provides a multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder forum for sharing thoughts and actions to reveal and challenge the social, political and legal relations degrading our planet. Our website, blog and list of publications provide an overview of the Centre’s ethos, its members, its events and the Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching available for students within the School of Law and Politics.

For the past two years the Student Division of CELP has operated as a student-led offshoot of CELP, developing a dynamic research community among undergraduates and taught postgraduates based in the School of Law and Politics with an interest in environmental research themes. See details of their past events and featured work.

In 2024/25 CELP is hoping to integrate its student division into the wider centre network. In 2024 /25 any undergraduate or taught postgraduates interested in CELP are welcome to attend CELP workshops and publish blog posts on the centre webpages. Details of the events will be circulated nearer the time, and any students wishing to discuss potential blog post submissions are encouraged to contact Jade Jones at JonesJC8@cardiff.ac.uk
