We came together with care/joy these past few days on unceded Algonquin territory to build community and commemorate Meinhard Justice, Ecology, Law & Place (JELP). Inspiring conversations, long lake swims and overdue reunions

📢 BREAKING!
In a historic decision, the United Nations General Assembly just adopted the resolution to universally recognize the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll !
This signals what we hope will be the beginning of a new era in rights-based environmental policy.
A thread 🧵👇
The legal sector is undergoing its own transition during the #ClimateCrisis . Law Society of BC is being asked to recognize the legal duty of lawyers to consider #climate risks to clients. 'We are wilfully putting on blinders if we ignore these realities.'
