Demystifying the cost of environmental justice on the island of Ireland
Publications: All-Island Strategic Legal Exchange
In June 2024, the first all-island conference on costs and funding was held in Queens University Belfast. The conference, ‘Demystifying the cost of environmental justice on the island of Ireland’, was organised by Environmental Justice Network Ireland (EJNI), the Climate Bar Association, Public Interest Litigation Support NI (PILS), Friends of the Earth Northern Ireland and Queen’s University Belfast Centre for Sustainability, Equality and Climate Action. With presentations from litigants and legal experts from across the island, the central message that emerged from the conference was that the potential extent of the cost of taking legal action to protect the environment in Ireland and Northern Ireland remains substantial and that this, combined with difficulty accessing funding for environmental cases, presents a significant barrier to environmental justice.
