BELS Network:

Biodiversity, Environment and Liability Scholars Network

We are proud to help convene the Biodiversity & Environmental Liability Scholars (BELS) Network

This global, interdisciplinary group of scholars conducts research on legal pathways that help secure remedies following incidents of environmental harm.

We host virtual research talks, produce an internal newsletter, foster collaboration among researchers, share opportunities and draw collective insights to help inform policy and legal practice.  

If you are interested in joining us, please contact Rika Fajrini

The first online meeting of the BELS network was held on 18 March 2024
