Über das Projekt

Today, she continues to carry out research on the environmental outcomes of laws and regulation in India. In her present role as Program Director as Namati-Centre for Policy Research’s Environment Justice Program, Manju spends extensive time with community paralegals training them on environmental laws and mediation strategies. Along with her team, she has developed a detailed case tracking method for pursuing administrative remedies to close the enforcement gap on environment compliance. The rigorous methodology developed by Namati’s research team coupled with the grassroots experience of the community paralegals seeks to translate local experiences on compliance issues to policy changes that would be needed to check violations of laws and legal compliance conditions.
This year, Manju is supposed to attend the ELAW Annual Meeting: this is a network of public interest environmental lawyers which works to share strategies and legal and scientific information across borders. It has over 300 members, spanning 70 countries. They work together to meet the challenge of protecting the climate, defending critical ecosystems and giving communities a voice in building a sustainable future. (http://www.elaw.org/)
There, she will share her experience on both the design of environment regulation in India and their experience with compliance. She will speak through her work on impacts of extractive industries, hydro power development and forest loss in India. This is a real capacity-building event: these meetings are the best place for environmental lawyers to learn from each other’s experiences and to go back home with new ideas for dealing with their own challenges.
The meeting is happening in Berlin, organized jointly by ELAW, UfU and the Heinrich Böll Foundation. Unfortunately, neither Manju nor the organizations she is affiliated with can afford the travel cost. Manju’s participation would add a lot to the meeting, and the ideas and connections she brought back would be a great boost for environmental law and practice in India.
This is why our last option is to ask you to donate for Manju’s plane ticket.
Please help Manju spread good environmental-law practices in India and “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” (Margaret Mead, American cultural anthropologist, 1901-1978).
