Egerton University’s Faculty of Law Legal Aid Project (FOLLAP) is creating the Fourth National Conference on Access to Justice on the theme “Climate Change and Environmental Justice”. The conference will be held in Nakuru Countyfrom 22nd - 26th October 2024. Indeed, the planetary crises of climate change is directly and indirectly impacting human rights globally. These crises undermine the enjoyment and protection of human rights and exacerbate environmental injustices, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable, marginalized, and excluded people and communities; they also act as threat multipliers, amplifying conflicts, tensions, and structural inequalities that negatively impact access to justice. There are as many stakeholders involved as there are challenges and successes in addressing climate change and environmental justice. The idea is to tap into these and present authentic work that can help in mitigation and policy reforms in the sectors.
