In search of climate justice

Home

With the aim to provide outstanding education and capacity building in the field of environmental justice, The Tarragona Centre for Environmental Law Studies (CEDAT) is launching the CEDAT Mediterranean Courses on Environmental Justice, a two-week course to take place in the city town of Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) in January, every year.

Postgraduate and Ph.D. students, young researchers, practitioners, regulatory authorities, and public administration officials seeking for capacity building in Environmental Justice issues, will have the opportunity to share knowledge and insights with renowned international experts in the field.

Since we are convinced that local and regional environmental challenges need to be tackled from a global approach based on environmental justice, we seek to gather students and instructors from all over the world.
