Legal Blog

The WYCJ Legal blog publishes contributions on the climate crisis and its impacts on youth's rights and the environment. The WYCJ Blog further strives to enhance collaboration between actors - Lawyers, Academics, and Non-Governmental Organisations - that relate to the climate action, the intergenerational equity principle, or WYCJ’s campaign. Finally, the WYCJ Legal blog aims to create momentum around WYCJ’s initiative by producing legal content referring to the implementation of a rights-based approach to the climate crisis and the utilization of international legal mechanisms to clarify and develop the international environmental law".
