Climate Justice
View
The Climate Justice Student Leadership Program is an opportunity for up to five Monash students to join students from seven partner universities worldwide to collaborate on climate justice. In the five-week online training—a pilot Global Virtual Classrooms project—students explore linkages between climate change and inequality through the lens of power and privilege. They explore cross-cultural perspectives on climate justice and learn how to develop globally-minded leaders with a focus on local activism for global impact.
The Climate Justice Clinic is a specialist clinic at the Monash Law Chambers that offers students practical experience of a range of law practice areas with an overarching focus on climate justice. Students work with leading environmental organisations, senior barristers working in environment and climate law, community organisations and campaign groups, and collaborate with community legal services throughout Victoria. The Climate Justice Clinic also helps students contextualise this work within the broader climate justice movement, and features regular guest speakers from law firms and environmental NGOs.
