Environmental law is central to biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource management and protecting human wellbeing. Operationalising this legislation relies entirely on capable and informed lawyers to forward cases, yet environmental law education is often absent or incomplete, and lawyers, prosecutors and judges are often ill-trained to meaningfully implement the existing laws available to them.

This is why we have developed our Masterclass on Environmental Liability. Co-developed with the Environmental Legal Assistance Centre in the Philippines and the IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law Biodiversity Law Specialist Group, the online programme will empower law students, civil society and government lawyers to use existing laws to remedy environmental harm, providing an educational model that can be scaled globally.

The Masterclass will have two tracks:

• A global module

• A Philippines-specific module that integrates the global module with content geared specifically to the legal framework of the Philippines.

The Masterclass will be accepting students from mid-2026 onwards.
